Evolution through the end times

The ten people slept until dawn before waking up. Qiao Zixuan estimated the time. The sky has been very gloomy recently. It was at least ten o'clock at this time. They simply ate something, but Qiao Zixuan still didn't eat, just holding the bottle After drinking a little spiritual spring water, seeing that he was in good spirits, Gong Lingfeng asked him to eat as before. After all, he also said before that he could not eat for a few days, but in his subconscious mind, he still thought that everyone said to eat. .

"I just went out to inquire about it. There are two small squares on the south and north sides. There are many people bartering there, but most of the things displayed outside are not good. It is said that there will be some small shops in those alleys. Some of them we need something." Xiang Qin came back from the outside, stroked the snow flakes on his head with his hand, sat aside and picked up the nutrient solution and drank it, Qiao Zixuan thought that Xiang Qin hadn't woken up, but he didn't expect him to go out so early, watching him drink The nutrient solution did not ask himself for something as usual, he took out a bag of chocolate beans from the space and handed it to him, Xiang Qin took a look at it and put it in his pocket.

"After dinner, divide into two groups. One group goes to the south and the other goes to the north. Today is just to inquire about the situation and find a good way. We are not in a hurry to exchange supplies for the time being." Gong Lingfeng nodded, swallowed the last sip of nutrient solution before speaking, A group of people tidied up and went out. Qiao Zixuan, Gong Lingfeng, Qi Rui, Qi Yun and Xiang Qin went to the south, and the remaining five went to the north. When they went out, they faced the wind and snow.

"It feels colder than the previous two days." Qi Yun said in a low voice. Although he hasn't recovered for a few days, he looks pretty good. Compared with human beings, they are not so pale and emaciated.

"It's really cold." Xiang Qin was outside in the morning to inquire about things, and he had a deep feeling for the temperature of the weather, echoing Qi Yun's words.

"Don't come back too late." Before the two teams separated, Gong Lingfeng told Xiao Lin, and then everyone separated, and the two teams headed south and north.

"Is it cold?" Gong Lingfeng approached Qiao Zixuan and asked in a low voice. It was much more lively during the day than late at night. Even though the weather was so cold, there were still people on the street. They looked like they were looking for errands in the outer city. Three packs of nutrient solution a day for food and clothing.

"It's not cold, let's go over there and have a look." Qiao Zixuan and the others hadn't walked for a while, and they saw stalls set up in twos and threes in the corner. When he came to this world, it was already a bit of a mess, and many things were missing. I have really seen it. Although the current world does not allow me to have many opportunities to take a good look at it, but there are some things on those stalls that I have never seen before. I still feel quite novel.

"The three of you go first." Gong Lingfeng remembered what Qiao Zixuan said. He is not from this world, so he didn't care about the undisguised novelty in his eyes. He just turned his head and asked Qi Rui and the others to go ahead and investigate first. News, looking for a way, and I was with Qiao Zixuan who was curious about all kinds of things that he was already accustomed to.

"This is also a kind of chip, but these are decorations. The chip we got yesterday was implanted with technology. There are some identity information in it. These are for entertainment." Gong Lingfeng saw that Qiao Zixuan was beaten The street stalls attracted his attention, and he followed his gaze, and saw crystal decorations of various colors, which looked really pleasing to the eye, but now, when there is not enough food and clothing, one still has to worry about it all the time. When you will encounter unknown dangers, it will be cumbersome to carry these things.

"Let's replace it, it's very pretty." Qiao Zixuan saw the crystal-like decorations, which should be in the shape of some animals, some like birds, some like animals, and the feather patterns on them can be clearly distinguished even if you look carefully. When he came out, it was truly a work of art, and Gong Lingfeng explained in a low voice, Qiao Zixuan knew that he was afraid that he was new to these things but didn't understand them, but he was afraid that others would think him strange, so he spoke in an intimate manner, From time to time, people around cast some gazes, both good and bad, looking at the two of them. The gazes made Qiao Zixuan feel a little uncomfortable, but he got used to it. Everyone he met in this world used all kinds of He has looked at himself, and some are even more malicious. Now he may be used to it, perhaps because Gong Lingfeng is beside him.

"You two, this crystal carving has been preserved for decades. It was passed down from my father's generation. If you like to replace it with some food, one crystal carving and two packs of nutrient solution are enough." The man at the stall asked the two of them. Stopping in front of the booth, he quickly raised his head and said in a humble tone.

"Didn't it mean that experts in the safety zone have already developed a new type of nutrient solution production technology? Shouldn't you be able to receive nutrient solution every day?" Seeing the man's tone, Qiao Zixuan should also be a little reluctant to part with these things, but he wants two The nutrient solution can be replaced by another one. The nutrient solution that is difficult to swallow, and the crystal jewelry that I know, is really a bit of a leak. The nutrient solution is the most basic source of food supply in this world, unless some special energy Surprisingly, ordinary nutrient solution is not very expensive, and even a small handful of vegetables can be exchanged for two or three packs of nutrient solution. At that time, Xiang Qin seemed to have said this kind of information unintentionally, but he He just sighed that Qiao Zixuan grew up eating vegetables, and his family was rich, but he didn't know that Qiao Zixuan was not from this world.

"The two of you are new to the safe zone, right? It is said that this new type of nutrient solution can only be produced in a small amount, and it can't feed the entire city. Naturally, it is for the inner city first. We can only have one pack per person per day in the outer city. I can bear it after one day, but the wife and children at home can't, if you two like these, you can change them." The man smiled bitterly, but tried his best to please, Qiao Zixuan looked at his face that was purple with cold , pointing at the crystal jewelry on the ground, not to mention the rough skin on the back of the hand, there are even some large and small cracks.

"Isn't it possible to find an errand?" Qiao Zixuan took the backpack from Gong Lingfeng's back, and at the same time took out twelve packs of nutrient solution and handed it to the man. He got up, quickly picked up the nutrient solution with the other hand and stuffed it into his arms wrapped in an old cotton jacket, looking around vigilantly.

"Those errands are not building the city wall, or they have some skills to choose plant planting bases, but they are not accessible to ordinary people. There are many people... who disappeared inexplicably, or died. My wife and children in my family have to take care of them. If I die, they will have no way out." The man said in a low voice, Qiao Zixuan put the crystal jewelry in his backpack and handed it to Gong Lingfeng, Gong Lingfeng took it, Qiao Zixuan looked up at him when he heard the man's words glance.

"Missing?" Qiao Zixuan blinked his moist and bright eyes, and then the man took a closer look at Qiao Zixuan's face. The two looked at each other. The man was stunned for a few seconds before he came back to his senses. Looking up, he met Shanggong Lingfeng's deep and dark eyes, with warning in his eyes, the man hurriedly stopped looking at Qiao Zixuan, shook his head in a hurry, picked up the nutrient solution in his arms, and left in a hurry.

"Hey? I haven't finished asking, why did you leave?" Qiao Zixuan naturally didn't know that the man was scared away by Gong Lingfeng's warning eyes, pouted, stood up, took Gong Lingfeng's backpack, and opened it to look at it After a while, by the way, he reached into the backpack to touch the crystal ornaments, and moved them into the space one by one. He released a little nutrient solution and smoke, and some clothes to cover up. After preparing the things, the backpack was taken by Gong Lingfeng with one hand, and the other He held Qiao Zixuan's hand and walked forward.

"Young master, would you like to take a look at these antiques of mine? These are all handed down from the ancestors, and they are all works of famous masters." Seeing Qiao Zixuan and the others being generous, they directly took down the crystal jewelry from the man's booth. The people around also began to please, pushing their things loudly, hoping that they could exchange a few packs of nutrient solution.

"Come here." Qiao Zixuan didn't continue to change anything, but he was thinking about what the man said before he left. Missing or dying, it's so strange to disappear inexplicably in the safe zone. The older child, his face was red and purple, and he was wearing thin clothes, even summer short-sleeves. Qiao Zixuan waved at him. The boy had been looking at them all the time, with anticipation on his face, but She looked a little timid again, seeing Qiao Zixuan waving at her now, she thought that he had taken a fancy to the thing in her hand, so she trotted forward.

"Do you want to exchange this thing for me?" The little boy held up the thing in his hand. Qiao Zixuan originally wanted to ask some information directly, but he also felt that the child might not know much information, but this child is the only one who wears these people. Qiao Zixuan couldn't bear to see him like this, and always thought of his childhood playmate inexplicably, but the child died of congenital heart disease when he was eight years old. After that, Qiao Zixuan and No one would be too heart-to-heart when dating, and when that playmate left, I cried to death, that feeling was too uncomfortable.

"How do I change this?" Qiao Zixuan looked at the thing in the boy's hand. It seemed to be a wooden box with something in it. Qiao Zixuan didn't open it, but looked at the child in front of him in a daze.

"This is the only thing my father left me. I want...five packs, no, three packs of nutrient solution will do." The little boy was biting his lips with reluctance in his eyes and making up his mind. Lift the thing in front of Qiao Zixuan.

"I'll give you six packs, and you answer some questions for me." Qiao Zixuan took the box, handed it to Gong Lingfeng, and took out six packs of nutrient solution from the backpack on his back and held it in his hand. The boy saw that Qiao Zixuan agreed Not to mention changing his own things, but also giving more nutrient solution, he couldn't hide his joy immediately.

"What do you want to ask? What if I can't answer?" The boy looked at the nutrient solution in front of him and asked cautiously. Qiao Zixuan looked at him and smiled sweetly.

"Why did you come out to change things at such a young age? What about your family?" Qiao Zixuan didn't get straight to the point, but asked a question casually, and a sad expression appeared on the boy's face.

"Mom died in the earthquake more than a month ago. Grandma and grandpa were also accidentally drenched in the heavy rain some time ago and failed to survive. Dad... just froze to death two days ago." The boy said With tears rolling in his eyes but not crying, Qiao Zixuan fell silent after hearing his words, which meant that the child in front of him was already an orphan, and judging by the clothes on his body, he probably wouldn't live long if he continued like this.

"Where do you live now?" Gong Lingfeng probably sensed Qiao Zixuan's different attitude towards this boy. After putting the box into his backpack, he put one hand around Qiao Zixuan's body, lowered his head and asked about the dirty clothes in front of him. Very cool boy.

"It's right there. The house has not been lived in since Dad died, and there is not enough food." The boy pointed at the place where he was standing just now, Qiao Zixuan looked at Gong Lingfeng, hesitant to speak.

"We still have a few vacant rooms." Gong Lingfeng seemed to have thought of what Qiao Zixuan was going to say, so he said it first, but Qiao Zixuan shook his head. Usually, two of them live in one room, and there are twelve rooms in total. This left seven rooms empty, but although the boy in front of him was moved with compassion, he also knew that there were too many secrets in their team that needed to be hidden, and Qiao Zixuan didn't want to cause trouble.
