The way home

Chapter 8

Time passed by every minute and every second, and the sky was emitting light little by little. Although he hadn't woken up yet, Qu Xiao's mental power had been observing him, and the situation had improved. He had controlled part of his mental power and started to fight the virus.The bluish white on his body also faded a lot, the wound on his leg has healed, and his face has returned to normal, but he hasn't woken up yet.

"Let's eat something." Qiu Yi went to the kitchen at some point, and the family still had a lot of food in the refrigerator.

"You know how to cook?" Qu Xiao looked at a pot of rice and cooking, feeling quite surprised.Although the dumplings made by the father at home are delicious, as far as he knows, few of his former colleagues know how to cook.

Qiu Yi smiled, "What's the matter. Don't you think I only know how to make instant noodles?"

Qu Xiao tilted his head, and the corners of his mouth twitched, "That's what I thought." Maybe it was because they had gone through a journey of escape with them, or maybe the world had become scary, but Qu Xiao relaxed a lot in the face of Qiu Yi.After eating some of Qiu Yi's fried dishes, although the ingredients themselves are not that good, Qiu Yi's cooking tastes like home, which is acceptable.Coupled with the fact that they have experienced disasters together, Qu Xiao still has a good impression of them.

Qiu Yi sat down on the sofa, looked at Mo Fei on the sofa, "How is he?"

"It's not bad so far. This kind of acupuncture can't be tolerated by ordinary people. Maybe people will go crazy before they can arouse their spiritual power. But he looks good. At least he has passed the initial stage. Now it's up to him to see if he can beat it." It's a virus." Qu Xiao looked at Mo Fei who was lying there, maybe in this last days he should pay attention to physical cultivation, at least not to hurt others, even if he is a researcher, the previous concepts should be abandoned.

"I think he can." Qiu Yi said with some emotion.

Turning to look at Qiu Yi, "He is your prisoner, why do you have so much confidence in him?"

"Although he violated the law, from the bottom of his heart, I also feel that he is relieved by doing so. In the words of the ancients, he is doing justice for the heavens." In fact, he still admires Mo Fei in his heart.

"Are you really a policeman?"

"Why do you ask that? Even if I am a policeman upholding the law and upholding justice, I am still alone. Well, I support him morally."

Qu Xiao couldn't help laughing, "Did you know? My dad used to be a policeman, and he thought the same way. Sometimes people commit crimes not because they have evil in their hearts, but because the law is just and cannot be violated for any reason."

"Oh, your dad, what's his name? Maybe I know him." Qiu Yi asked unexpectedly.

Qu Xiao shook his head, "He's not here, you definitely don't know him." After Qu Xiao finished speaking, he lowered his head to eat and stopped talking.When I think of my loved ones, I feel depressed, and I don't know when I can go home. Facing such a world, the way home is even more difficult.

Qiu Yi was stunned for a moment, but didn't speak anymore, he thought that Qu Xiao's father might not be alive anymore.

"How is it? What's the news?" Seeing Qiqi coming back, Mi Le stood up and asked.

Qiqi shook his head, "Not yet, the Mars base can't figure out where they are, and Xiaoxiao didn't send any information back."

Qu Fan pulled Mi Le to sit down, put his arms around his shoulders and comforted him, "Xiaoxiao is so smart that he will be able to escape, and you have to trust your feeling, he will be fine. When the storm there is less, I will go in and take a look." explore."

Mi Le nodded, Xiaoxiao has been missing for a year, (Qu Xiao's time in the wormhole was not a few days as he thought) still can't calm down.He and Qu Fan have been living on Aquamarine for the past few years, that planet has a beautiful environment and abundant aura, and they have made a few friends there.They felt it the first time Xiaoxiao had an accident. Unlike Qu Fan's vague feeling, he was very clear. The amulet that Xiaoxiao had was a jade lotus branched from his body, and he felt it very clearly.

The two rushed back quickly, and in less than a day, their feeling for Xiaoxiao suddenly disappeared.

If it wasn't for the fetters of blood that let him know that Xiaoxiao was still alive, he might have collapsed.Qu Fan has been to the star field where Xiaoxiao disappeared, but the cosmic storm there is so strong that even with Qu Fan's strength, he can't get in, let alone look for Xiaoxiao.The only thing that surprised them was how Xiaoxiao's spaceship passed.There are several galaxies away from the solar system.Impossible with today's technology.After the two failed to detect, they came back and wanted to see if there was any news here, but they were disappointed.

"Let's go back to Bi Mercury. Then set up a teleportation array at the nearest place in the storm area, Bi." Mi Le suggested.Since there can't be any results on the earth side, they should do it themselves.

Qu Fan nodded and looked at Qiqi, "You stay here, and if you have any news from here, go to Bishuixing to contact."

"Well, I got it, Dad. You must be careful if you enter the storm zone." He didn't think there would be any news from the earth side. Xiaoxiao and Huayun disappeared, and it would be good if the base laboratory didn't mess up.In just one year, many projects at the base have stopped, and they should be overwhelmed.

Qu Fan also explained some things to a few children, and a few apprentices, so he must be steady at this time.

He has another worry about Xiaoxiao. Mi Le has a strong sense of the child, and now the feeling has disappeared. Although he can still know that he is safe, he has no sense of where he is sitting at all.Maybe Xiaoxiao is in a place where they can't go.It's okay to talk about other things, but I'm afraid that there is some danger in that place. Among the children, Xiaoxiao's cultivation is different from others. Even Mao'er is now a cultivator in the heart-beating stage, but Xiaoxiao is different. Although his mental power is strong, he has no sense of fighting at all. He spends all his time researching and using his mental power to develop his brain.It's really not as good as a warrior.So we must find him quickly.

I have to say that a father knows his children quite well.

The room is peaceful, except for Qu Xiao's constant tapping on the keyboard. Twelve hours have passed since the disaster began.The current network power and water source is still normal, Qu Xiao and Hua Yun took this opportunity to collect data.

"How did you get through?" Seeing Qiu Yi walking into the room, he asked.

Qiu Yi glanced at Mo Fei who was lying there motionless, then nodded, "I got through." His voice was a bit dull, "My son was found, her mother turned into a zombie, and he hid in the cabinet. We used to play hide-and-seek like this Game, I didn't expect to save his life. Fang Qiang took him away. I must return to City B quickly, the situation there is very bad now."

"You have a good brother." Fang Qiang is really good at being able to do this under such circumstances.

Qiu Yi smiled and nodded, he didn't expect that Fang Qiang could really go.

City B has a population of tens of millions, and a large population means more zombies. Even if it is the capital of the country and has a strong military force, it will not be stable for a while.Speaking of which, big cities are not as safe as the small mountain village where he is now.

"Let's go together, and I'll go to City B too." Things have changed, but City B is still going. "I think you should discuss with your colleagues about the way to meet up. Although the mobile phone signal has not been cut off yet, the network is not stable, and the power supply is also a problem. It is uncertain when it will be cut off. The mobile phone is not so sure. If the information is blocked, it will not be easy to find it in the future." And the weather is not normal now, it is as hot as July and August outside, Huayun just checked it through satellite monitoring, the sunspots are extremely active, and there are a large number of eruptions If there is a strong electromagnetic storm, the satellite will also be lost.This is just their worst prediction of disaster, but once it happens, the consequences will be unimaginable.Must be prepared in advance.

Qiu Yi nodded and took out his mobile phone, "I went to the door to check just now, and there are three or four zombies wandering there, and the other zombies are scattered, I want to go out to see if there are any survivors. These zombies move very slowly , as long as it is not surrounded, it is not a big problem." The speed of the zombies is not fast, and with his skill, as long as he is not surrounded, there will be no problem.

"Zombies have very little intelligence left now, they can only rely on instinct, look for food, and move around, and they should have some sense of territory. I think that without food temptation, zombies should wander around their homes." Qu Xiao Station Standing up, looking out through the window, I heard the occasional knock on the door.The door next door had been knocked down, and the zombies didn't find them, leaving most of them in the morning. "There is not much gasoline in the car. We need to get some. It is hard to find gasoline on the road."

"I know. In addition, we need to collect more food and water. This is the basis of survival." As a policeman, he understands the current situation very well and knows how to survive.Qiu Yi looked at Mo Fei, "Look at him, if he turns into a zombie, don't hesitate, you can't make him look like Zheng Guo." Qiu Yi frowned sadly, at the beginning Zheng Guo concealed the wound, It caused him to lose his last chance. Although he also felt that the success rate of this method was not high at all, it was still a chance.It's a pity that people's hearts are unpredictable.

Qu Xiao nodded, "Be careful."

"Don't worry, I will go to a few nearby houses first, and I won't go far."

Seeing Qiu Yi leaving in full armor, Qu Xiao picked up the computer, the current Internet is going crazy.News about the disaster is everywhere, and Hua Yun uses his ability to find useful information in these news.After the research of the two, the network and electricity may not be supported for a long time, so Hua Yun took advantage of this time to download useful information.

When Qiu Yi came back, Qu Xiao had already compiled some information.Qiu Yi went out for less than half an hour, and brought back a child, a boy who was only four or five years old. "He was hidden in a rice jar by his mother." The child was full of confusion.

Qu Xiao sighed, "I'm afraid I'm scared." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and touched the child's head. The little guy stared at him with big eyes, as if weighing something. After a while, he stretched out his hands, and Qu He took it with a smile.in my arms.He has a peaceful aura, which can calm the child's mood even more.

"Hey, I struggled for a while while hugging him, but I recognized you." Qiu Yi said with a smile, "My son is similar to him. But let his mother feed him like a fat man." Qiu Yi's face darkened For a moment, thinking of his ex-wife made him feel very uncomfortable, and he was also worried about the fact that the child was not by his side now, but it was not easy to return to City B smoothly.

Seeing his expression, Qu Xiao changed the subject, got up to find food for the little guy, "Zombies' brains have degenerated, but their body strength has increased. This is also a kind of evolution. The human brain cannot withstand this virus. In the end, the brain Degenerate, leaving only instinct, becoming a zombie."

"Then what would it look like if the brain could withstand the virus? Could it be the same?" Qiu Yiben was about to go out again, but when he heard Qu Xiao speak, he stopped.

"Perhaps to welcome a new life, all aspects of physical fitness will become stronger. I think that in the future, many people will find that they have increased strength or run faster, and their physical fitness has been greatly improved. What's more, they will find that they There are one or two abilities, and the mental power increases.

The virus spreads in the air and everyone will come into contact with it. The weak will have various conditions, such as colds, with obvious symptoms, and these people will become zombies.The remaining people are divided into several categories. Some of them suddenly lost signs of life when the virus broke out last night. There are many such records on the Internet. They lost signs of life for about 3 minutes and then turned into zombies.There are all kinds of people in this group, so it is not sure what they have in common.Finally, there are people who are not zombified.Originally, I guessed that it was due to good physical quality in all aspects, but now it seems that it is not absolute. "He said and looked at the boy in his arms. There was also Qiu Yi's son, they were all fine, "Perhaps it has a lot to do with mental strength, and this needs to be proved. "This little boy's eyes are very clear, although he is very scared, he has not lost his mind, and this time he has detected his mental strength a little bit, which is stronger than that of an adult. But this is also good, the child is the hope of the future, and the mental power is strong Good for his future development.

"According to what you said, there is also a virus in my body?" Qiu Yi asked in surprise.

"Don't worry, you won't become a zombie. The incubation period of this virus is about a week, so almost the whole world launched it together. Everything has two aspects: explicit and recessive. Since there is no outbreak now, it will not break out in the future. The virus A stable state has been formed in your body. In the future, re-infection will not pass through the air, and blood infection may be even greater, so be careful not to be caught and bitten by zombies. If you are caught, there is still a certain chance of survival. If you are bitten, you will definitely It can't be helped." There were many messages on the Internet, and even some videos, and he and Hua Yun came to this conclusion after some statistics.

"Then what evolution are you talking about?"

"These viruses reach a certain stable state in the human body. After a period of time, I can't confirm the specific time. The virus is completely accepted by the human body. At this time, the various qualities of the human body will improve, so as to achieve the purpose of evolution. The overall quality of human beings will be improved." The increase is at least twice. There are a very small number of people because of their strong mental power, and their evolution time will be shortened. If something is catalyzed, the evolution space will be larger. As for the catalyst, it is not clear." These are not his random It is speculated that he may be the first person in the world to break out the virus. Although his situation can only be regarded as a special case, it is enough for him to understand the virus situation.

"Like what?"

"No, maybe the situation is a little different. He was directly infected, and the virus in his body instantly increased to the strongest. It took only a short time from the virus entering the body to erupting, maybe only a little slower than the person who was bitten. The method I used is very fast. Extremely, a normal person may only have a chance of one in a hundred thousand not becoming an idiot, it can only be said that his willpower is very strong and his ability to survive is also strong."

Qiu Yi looked at Qu Xiao standing in the kitchen holding the child in one hand and frantically looking for something, and simply stepped forward, "I'll do it." Qu Xiao took a step back with the little boy in his arms, he was not good at these things.

Sitting on a small low stool in the kitchen, I took a closer look at the little boy. He was about the same size, with bright black eyes, which reminded him of the cat when he was young. His skin color was a bit dark, and he often ran outside. Jump, although not fat, pinch, the flesh on the arm is quite honest.

The little boy regained his energy after eating, Qu Xiao asked for a long time, only knew that his nickname was Dongdong.After eating, he just sat by Qu Xiao and didn't speak, still a little scared.

Qiu Yi went out a few times and searched their houses. There were no other survivors. He encountered zombies in the house, most of them were elderly people. It is estimated that the young people in the village have all gone out to work, and there are still a lot of rural supplies. , He is very skilled, as long as he is careful not to be caught or bitten, he is safe. He has collected a lot of things in a small shop next to him.Although there is a lot of food in the village, instant noodles and chocolate are more convenient in the wild.

"Take a break, I think he's about to wake up, let's drive over to get him when he wakes up." Qiu Yi carried a few boxes and jumped off the wall next door, Qu Xiao saw that his head was covered with sweat.

"Idle is idle, are you going to wake up?" Qiu Yi put down his things and asked.

"En." Qu Xiao nodded, he already felt that his breath had stabilized, and he finally passed it.

Before Qiu Yi could speak, the two of them felt that there was Tokyo in the room. They walked into the room quickly, and they must have woken up.When the two of them came in, they looked at whether it was a fireball in one hand and a water polo in the other.

"Is this the ability?" Qiu Yi looked at Mo Fei in surprise.

Qu Xiao was also quite surprised. He had felt that there seemed to be two different forces in Mo Fei's body before, but he didn't expect it to be fire and water.Then he frowned, "Do you feel uncomfortable there?" He put down the stuff he had been holding and walked towards Mo Fei.

Could it be that he smiled, it was a very cheerful smile, and it seemed that he hadn't seen this in a long time. "Not everything is fine."

Qu Xiao stepped forward to put Mo Fei's arm, feeling the spiritual power in his body, and then looked at him with a monster-like gaze, "You actually merged these two kinds of spiritual power." Water and fire dual powers, but these two powers are mutually exclusive, and most people can only give up one of them. Few people have both water and fire, otherwise they can only hurt others and themselves.It is not surprising that he has merged here.

"Let me check it out." He said and took out a syringe from the backpack at his waist. Without watching him move, the syringe was stuck in Mo Fei's arm. With strong resistance, Mo Fei's body strength has also increased.A stream of bright red blood was drawn in, "Obviously your blood is very fresh now." You can test it again to see changes in the blood.Perhaps antibodies can also be extracted.

Mo Fei glanced at Qu Xiao helplessly, they seemed to have met a mad scientist.Then I saw the little boy behind Qu Xiao, "Survivor? Just this one?"

Qiu Yi nodded, "I only looked for this house, and this one."

Both of them sighed secretly. Judging from this, their previous estimation of the survivors would be further reduced.Hope there are more in the city.Fewer survivors means more zombies, and the end of the world is really here.

Qu Xiao ended up taking samples from Mo Fei, and he didn't have so much emotion. The world is already like this, and emotion is useless. Survival is the most important thing. As long as human beings can survive this catastrophe, human beings will have better development.

"Okay, it's almost noon, let's search for some supplies and set off."

"We are going to City B, what about you?" Hearing Qu Xiao's question, Qiu Yi lit a cigarette and handed it to Mo Fei. Mo Fei shook his head, half-closed his eyes and looked at the zombies outside the wall. In this troubled world, the order of the world is disrupted, and Murphy's crimes also dissipate with the arrival of the end of the world.

Mo Fei looked at him, then shifted his gaze to Qu Xiao who was packing up the computer, "I don't have anything to worry about, I'll go to City B with you. Every step counts, people always want to live."

"Yeah, you have to live." Qiu Yi threw away the cigarette butt, "Let's take one step at a time." Following Mo Fei's words, Qiu Yi sighed.

With Mo Fei, the collection of materials went smoothly, and there was no noise like driving over as Qu Xiao said. The two of them still walked through the wall, which was also safe.

They found three cars, and finally chose a pick-up truck, nine floors new, not a good car, and it can be bought for [-] to [-] yuan. The only advantage is that the rear compartment can carry a lot of things.

"Let's do this first, see if there are any good ones on the road, and then change them." Qiu Yi and Mo Fei covered the back materials with the canvas they found, covered three layers, and locked them with iron chains, on the one hand to prevent zombies from pulling, and on the other hand On the one hand, they also have to guard against looting.It's a troubled time now, although they don't harm people's hearts, they still have to guard against other people's evil intentions.

Inside the car is a double-row seat, and there are mineral water, instant noodles, and canned ham sausage in the middle of the car seat, which can be eaten after opening. This little thing like Dongdong is nothing, it can just lie on its side.

When going out, Qiu Yi stepped up his firepower and directly ran into him. Zombies intercepted him along the way, but he forced him to knock him out of the way.Qiu Yi deliberately drove around the village and even honked the horn, but no survivors appeared.

After leaving the village, Qu Xiao's brows remained unfurled, and the situation was even more serious than they had expected.

The author has something to say: the end-time crisis has just erupted, and human nature has not disappeared. As time goes by, some of the bad deeds of human beings have begun to be exposed. In the end, whether to evolve or be swallowed up depends entirely on human beings.
