The way home

"Hello. I'm Qiu Yi. I'm walking with you all the way. We haven't gone there yet to thank you." Qiu Yi took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and handed one to Wu Qiang.Then he signaled to Mo Fei that one would come.Could it be that he waved his hand.

Wu Qiang took the cigarette and followed it, "It's not a small effort."

"Hello, Mo Fei." Mo Fei nodded.

"Where do you come from? I don't think you have much food with you?"

Mo Fei squinted his eyes at Dongdong who was circling around Qu Xiao, but didn't answer, Qiu Yi tilted his head and leaned on the car to smoke, looking a little unscrupulous, "We came here in Nanji City. Let's go What about you?" Qiu Yi didn't seem to care much, but his eyes had already scanned the convoy in front of him. Although he didn't say it very clearly, he also made a certain assessment of their strength. There is a box car in the middle of their cars. You can tell that the box car is full of goods just by looking at the chassis pressure. The other cars are also full except for the place where people sit. The people in the team are all strong and look like they can fight. people.No one is idle.

"We are from Tianjing. There used to be a small base there, but it was destroyed by an animal zombie attack yesterday. We have no choice but to change the place." Wu Qiang said a little coldly, half a month was enough to make him hard-hearted, Thinking of those who did not escape from the base, Wu Qiang subconsciously glanced at the young man over there. The little boy was acting coquettishly beside him, crumpling his clothes into a ball. Although the smile on his face was not big, he could feel His tenderness.He confirmed again that this person should not live in this troubled world.

Shaking his head, he looked at Qiu Yi and said with a smile, "Do you have any plans to travel all the way to City B? It looks like you still have women and children, and there is not much food. City B is not easy to mix."

"Let's take one step at a time. I didn't think too much about it. When I came here, I only thought that City B is the capital after all, so it should be safer." Qiu Yi said casually.

"Cut—it's really safe there now." Wu Qiang didn't take what he said seriously.

"You are close, do you know the situation in City B?" Qiu Yi inquired.

Wu Qiang smiled, "In today's world, the strong are respected. It's the same everywhere. As long as you have the strength, you may live better." Throwing the cigarette butt on the ground, grinding it with his feet, and sweeping around, "I see you You are all in good health, how are you? Join our team. You can make a difference in City B in the future."

Qiu Yi smiled, "Thank you for your invitation, but let's go to City B first."

Wu Qiang was not angry when he was rejected, "If you change your mind, you can come to me at any time. This invitation is always valid." After speaking, he left with a smile.These two people are not easy to recruit.No regrets either.Make a good relationship first, and the days will be long in the future.

They waited for a while, the gate of the base in City B finally opened, and the convoys began to enter. While they were waiting, a base server came over and handed them a booklet. Although it was a bit rough, it could be done at this time. This thing is not easy.

Several people looked at it in turn. This is the base entry manual.There are brief introductions and requirements of the base, as well as some rules and regulations.

The first thing they noticed was the requirements for entering the base. First of all, the base welcomes any human beings to enter. The people who enter the base are divided into several categories. People will be fully deployed by the base and must do some work assigned by the base. These tasks are generally cleaning and service work.Basic meals will be distributed by the base every day.

The second type is some people with special skills or some people with strength but no organization. The former arranges work according to their special skills, and the latter arranges teams to hunt by the base. This kind of people are treated better than the first type of people. They remove some special food configurations , each person still has a matching quota, that person can get the same quota without accepting any work at the base.

The third type is self-made fleets, because in this last days it is difficult to move without a car, so everyone calls an organized team a fleet. The minimum number of teams is unlimited and the maximum number is not limited. All supplies of all team organizations are provided by themselves, and the base will not provide them. For any materials, the same convoy can go hunting outside, rent vehicles, weapons and all useful materials. It needs to pay a certain amount of money, and 40.00% of the materials need to be paid after returning to the base.Qualified fleets do not enjoy base housing allocation, and all they need can be purchased at the base service center by themselves.It also enjoys a certain degree of freedom, and the base does not intervene in the internal behavior of the team.

In addition, another kind of people appeared some time ago, supernatural beings. After any supernatural beings register at the base, they will get more privileges if they join the supernatural brigade of the base. Of course, the teams are also in great demand for such people. of.

In addition to the above four types of people, the base also has troops stationed there. These soldiers were soldiers from the military district of City B. They were responsible for safeguarding the security of the base. They were also the largest organization in the base.

There are also certain rules for convoys entering the base. First, they are classified according to the previous rules. The first two types of people do not need to hand over their supplies, which are under the unified management of the base. The convoy must pay a certain amount of rations per person. They have to pay taxes at the beginning. Of course, as long as they don't violate some laws of the base, they also have a lot of freedom.

There are many other regulations, as well as the introduction of the base, but they only need to know the most important ones.

"We are in the same convoy." Qiu Yi said to the registration staff.

The man looked up at the eight of them, and his eyes swept over them. Of the eight of them, could it be that Qiu Yi and Jiang Sen looked stronger, while the others, Jian Bai, didn't seem strong, maybe they didn't have enough strength when they were young. Nutrition, he is not tall, he looks 1.7 meters [-], and his body is still a little thin.There are also women and children in this team, and the man holding the child also looks helpless.He sighed secretly in his heart, this was also because of those people who were blinded by the team's policies. There were many before, but in the end the group was wiped out.

He lowered his head and saw a lot of things like registering a few people, so it was not surprising, and it was hard for him to persuade him. "What's the name of your team?"

Several people looked at each other, "What's your name?" They really didn't think about it.

"Why don't you call it Hope." Qiu Yi thought for a while and said.

"Okay." Anyway, a name, I hope it's not bad.

"I hope the team already exists, so let's change to another one." The registrant put down his pen and raised his head and said, "Dawn, Future, etc., don't use names like these, they're basically taken up."

Qu laughed, their faces were a bit embarrassing.It's such a hassle to come up with a name.

"Or call it Donggua team." Qiu Yi said with a serious face.

Everyone was even more embarrassed, "Why?" Everyone asked in unison.

"Our team will consist of two children in the future, one is Dongdong and the other is my son, so let's name it after the two children."

"What's your son's name?" Speaking of which, everyone only heard Qiu Yi say that his son was quite fat, and he was always called Chubby Chubby, but they really didn't know what it was called.

"Qiu melon"

Pfft - Everyone burst into laughter upon hearing this name, Qiu Gua, isn't it just Qiu Gua, "Brother Qiu is really talented."

"It's not my name, it's his mother's name. I originally named him Qiu Yin, but my mother changed his name when I divorced."

Well, earthworms are not doing too well.

Thus the name of the team was settled.The Winter Melon team was originally Donggua, but the registrar directly changed it to Winter Melon.

After registering, each person pays five catties of food, then undergoes a physical examination, and then enters the isolation room.

This isolation room is good, much better than under the sun. In an empty building, they are not separated. The isolation time is the same as other bases for three hours.

Everyone just took advantage of this time to have breakfast.The things in the car have been registered, and they can be picked up after going out, and things can be brought into the isolation room, which is still very loose.I don't know if it is a special treatment for the team.

The room was empty, and everyone didn't pay attention to sitting directly on the ground. They would eat self-heating food. Although there were no monitors in the room, everyone should be careful not to use the space.

Three hours passed in a flash.

They got the car, and each of them got a metal plate with a chain on it, with a stamp on it, the name of the team, their own name and the base number. This is their identification. Just come up with this thing, it seems that some temporary factories have been established.

I drove the car into the second gate of the base, and finally arrived at the destination. After reading the manual, I knew that the base was divided into several parts. From the inside to the outside, it was divided into four areas. The outermost area D and C belong to the distribution area. , is the area uniformly allocated by the base, which is the area where the base server is located, and the two areas of BA belong to the free purchase area, and the prices are different according to different security levels.

Seeing this setting, you know that in this troubled world, people are also starting to be graded.

When they first arrived, they didn't have a ready-made residence, and they were not in a hurry to go to the service area. What was more urgent was to find Fang Qiang. After entering the base, Qiu Yi couldn't wait to see his son.

Because there was still contact before, Qiu Yi knew that Fang Qiang lived in Area C, and he should belong to a person with force value and no convoy, and was under the management of the base.Because they were quarantined for three hours, they didn't know if Fang Qiang went out today, or if he was still there when they had no contact for the past two days.Anyway, go find it first.

Area C is obviously better than Area D. There are obviously a lot of tents in Area D. Perhaps the housing allocation is not enough, and some people need to live in tents. There is no such situation in area C, and villas can be seen occasionally.There are also more vehicles coming in and out.

Find out where Fang Qiang lives according to the address. This was originally the campus of the Academy of Fine Arts, and Fang Qiang lives in a dormitory on the campus.Parking the car in front of the building, Qiu Yi carefully looked at the house number to make sure he was right.Most of the windows of the dormitory building are closed with railings, perhaps to resist zombies.

Fang Qiang lives in room [-], and the situation in the corridor is not so good.In a mess, Qiu Yi took the lead and walked in front, and occasionally met people who went downstairs, and they didn't look particularly good, feeling a little pale and emaciated.

Qiu Yi frowned, looking at the appearance of these people, everyone's life is not very good, I don't know if my fat man has become a small and thin person.

I just went up to the second floor, and a person came down from the top. He looked a little slender, and he was holding a bucket in his hand. He might go to fetch water. Now there is a shortage of water everywhere. The exposed water source has been found to be seriously polluted. Although eating It won't become a zombie, but there are already dead people, so everyone can only eat some groundwater and it is purified groundwater, which makes the water source very tight, and the base in city B can only implement a rationing system for water.

Qiu Yi didn't care, and even leaned to the right, and continued to walk up.

"Brother Qiu—" When the two passed by, the young man suddenly shouted, and everyone who followed Qiu Yi saw the surprised expression on the young man's face.

Qiu Yi turned his head when he heard the voice, and the young man grabbed his arm at once, "Brother Qiu, you are finally here. I didn't believe you these days, I thought you—" the young man said with red eye circles.

"Qiangzi? Why are you so thin?" Qiu Yi felt that he couldn't believe his eyes. Although Fang Qiang was not very strong before, he is not so thin. Does he weigh a hundred catties?

"Hehe, it's okay. Everyone is like this." Fang Qiang said with a smile.I looked Qiu Yi up and down, and found that he hadn't lost weight, and his body looked much stronger, so I finally felt relieved.The smile on his face couldn't be stopped.

Seeing him like this, Qiu Yi felt a little distressed in his heart. How much suffering would it take to lose weight like this in less than half a month?

"Let's not get stuck here." Said Jiang Sen who was behind Qiu Yi.

Fang Qiang came back to his senses, and quickly said, "Yes, hurry up, you must be tired all the way here, Guagua misses you every day. Last night, he said that Dad is coming. I must be very happy to see Brother Qiu at this meeting." .”

"Qiangzi, thank you so much, if it weren't for you, Guagua wouldn't know what to do?"

"Brother Qiu, don't be angry with me. This is what it should be."

While talking, I went to 302 on the third floor, which is on the left side of the corridor. Before I opened the door, I heard the sound of da da da—beep—it should be the voice of a child. He fell to the ground, even though he knew that his son was fine, he only counted when he heard and saw him, no matter what he said, the child was in good spirits, so he would play well.

The door of the dormitory was reinforced by Fang Qiang with steel plates, and there were iron chains and several locks on the door. In fact, this was not only the case here, but also other doors.

"Although the base has laws and regulations prohibiting robbery and stealing, I don't feel at ease if I don't do it like this. There were rat zombies in the base the night before, and many people died, so I have to guard against it."

It only took half a minute to unlock the door, and the children in the room may have heard the door ring, ran over, probably listened for a while, and then said, "Uncle Fang, why did you come back so soon?"

Fang Qiang smiled, "This little guy is smart, there is also a lock inside this door, he only opened it when he heard that I was the one, otherwise he would never have opened it."

While talking, there was also the sound of unlocking the door, and then the door opened quickly, and everyone saw the fat man at the door at a glance.

Qiu Yi has already thought that his son must be thin. In this time of lack of food, it is abnormal to be fat, so he is prepared in his heart, but now he feels that his son must be abnormal. He was fatter than the last time I saw him.

The little fat man originally wanted to jump on Fang Qiang. He did this every day, but today there were a lot of people standing at the door, which prevented him from doing that. Then he found out that the person next to Uncle Fang Qiang was his father.

"Father—" the little fat man suddenly yelled in ecstasy, and then the little fat man rushed over like a cannonball.

"Son—" Qiu Yi squatted down, picked up the little fat man, and felt again that the boy must be fat.

"Dad, why did you come—wow—" the little fat man cried as soon as he said a word.Fang Qiang told him from time to time that his father would come, and the little guy was looking forward to it, but it was almost half a month, and his father hadn't come yet, so he was afraid even if he didn't say anything. Surprised my heart suddenly relaxed.

Qiu Yi also had red eyes, "I'm sorry Dad is late."

The others were somewhat sad, but seeing the reunion of father and son, the suffering of these days was not in vain.

Qu Xiao felt a little lost in his arms, maybe he also thought of his parents.He reached out and patted Dongdong's back to comfort the child. Could it be that he also felt the little guy's emotions and patted Dongdong's head.

"Okay, come in and sit down, don't stand at the door." Fang Qiang's eye circles were also red, and he touched a few people with his hand, and let a few people in.

Over there, Qiu Yi coaxed the children, and they took a look at the room. The inside was very simple, with only one bunk bed and not many things. There was a simple coal stove by the window, a few pots and bowls, and a bucket. There is rice in it, half a barrel, no vegetables, only a few bags of pickles.There are several finished cans next to it.

They also saw that the bunk bed was only covered with a very thin mattress, and the pillows were army green pillows that seemed to be made by college students.Other than that there is nothing else.

The lower bunk is completely different. There are several layers of mattresses, not to mention a relatively clean sheet, the pillows are also very soft, and there is also a towel quilt.There is a small basket at the end of the bed, which contains some snacks such as chocolate milk beans, and some children's toys. Obviously, the lower bunk is for the little fat pier.And compared with Fang Qiang, the chubby boy looked more energetic, his face and body were clean.Very well looked after.

Seeing this, everyone accepted Fang Qiang in their hearts.Not many people can do this.

"Qiangzi, have you given all your food to Guagua? This kid is getting fat." Qiu Yi really didn't know what to say, as if he couldn't say any words of gratitude.

"Hehe, no, it's just that there is a lack of vegetables and more meat." Fang Qiang didn't want to talk about how he got through these days, he couldn't lose Guagua no matter what.Not to mention that he is Qiu Yi's son, these two have depended on each other for life, and he already regards Guagua as his own son.

Fang Qiang has never said how he lived with Guagua, but later Qiu Yi inquired about it from his son. Although Fang Qiang used to be a policeman, he was a member of the Appraisal Department. He didn't dare to go hunting either, only the first two trips were extremely dangerous, and he was also afraid that he would be bitten by a zombie one day, so Guagua would have no one to take care of him.

Later, I didn’t go out. It happened that City B was building a base and needed people to help build the city wall and do physical work. This is better than the service labor income that is allocated. If you do more, you can earn five or six catties of food a day, which is enough He lived with Guagua, and he worked like this for a week. Part of the daily food was exchanged for daily necessities, and part of it was bought for Guagua, such as chocolate milk chips and canned meat. The child is growing up. When he was young, he didn't want the child to grow up like bean sprouts, but because of this, Pang Dun could only move around the house every day, and he gained weight in a few days.In the end, he put away the remaining food and he was not willing to eat it. Anyway, he had a meal every day when he went to work.The fence was repaired in the past two days, and there were other tasks, but because of the zombie rats the day before yesterday, he didn't dare to leave Guagua alone at home, so he didn't go.Thinking about whether to strengthen the room again.Unexpectedly, Qiu Yi and the others came.

Fang Qiang looked at his watch suddenly, "Oh, it's almost time for the water to come out. Brother Qiu, you go ahead and I'll pick up the water. Have you gone to the service area? I haven't allocated a place for you. If you don't go, I'll take it later. Come back and take you there, there are still a few vacant houses in this building, so we can share them together."

Could it be that Fang Qiang hurriedly stopped Fang Qiang who was about to leave, "There is no need to go, we have water here." As he spoke, he took Fang Qiang's bucket, and the ability was activated, and the bucket was filled with clear water.

Fang Qiang opened his mouth wide, and it took him a while to point at Mo Fei, "Are you a supernatural person?"

Mo Fei nodded, "Get to know me, I'm Mo Fei." Then he pointed to Qu Xiao, "This is Qu Xiao, this is Dong Dong." He introduced them one by one.

Fang Qiang smiled and greeted several people.

Qiu Yi had already coaxed the little fat guy, and the little guy stopped crying. He put his arms around his father's neck, looked at the uncles and aunts in the room, and finally fixed his eyes on Dongdong. Since the outbreak of the virus, he has not seen his peers for a long time. kid.

Qiu Yi patted Xiaopangdun's buttocks, "Go, that's Dongdong, you two will be good partners from now on. Go and get to know each other."

The little fat man didn't recognize his life, he got off the ground and ran to Qu Xiao's side, Qu Xiao also put Dong Dong down, "Dong Dong is the Gua Gua that your Uncle Qiu mentioned."

"Hi, I'm Qiugua. Everyone calls me Guagua. Is your name Dongdong?"

Dongdong was a little shy, but Qiu Yi often mentioned his son, Dongdong didn't feel strange, but felt that this little fat man seemed to have seen him before.Maybe there are already some impressions in my mind.

"Hi, my name is Dongdong." The two children shook hands.It didn't take long to play together.

"It's pretty smooth looking for you today. We have formed a team. What are you doing now? How can you join our team? I don't know if there are any regulations in the base." Not to mention, Fang Qiang definitely wants to join their team Yes, I just don't know if it's troublesome or not.

Naturally, Fang Qiang would not hesitate, "Just go to the service area for identity verification, but then you won't be able to receive supplies from the base in the future, and you won't be able to live in this house."

Qiu Yi nodded, "It's no problem, if you don't live here, you can live here, so you are familiar with this place, let's go through it now, and then find a house, and settle down first. I just don't know what price to rent or buy a house now. "

"Let's rent it, the price is too expensive." Fang Qiang said.

"Yeah, let's rent it, we might change at some point." Mo Fei agreed.

Others don't express their opinions at all, and they don't need to use their brains, which is fine.
