After the fog, I became a birdman

Their materials were moved in one more day, and when the total working hours were finally counted, it was only 16 hours, that is, 4 credits.

When paying, Qi Jiang looked at the balance in his passbook and couldn't help but sigh that the credits were too durable.

Today Su Qing went to two places to line up to buy vegetables. One was a food distribution point. He bought six catties of rice and one and a half catties of meat. When he looked at the water, he found that the sale of mineral water had been discontinued, and all of them would be self-contained in the future.

Because the three generations of dark soil red worm water polluted all the clean water lakes in Fengcheng, there are only a few lakes that are not polluted by dark soil red worms, so each person is only allowed 1 liter of water per day.

Then, he went to the exchange office to see what could be exchanged.

Scarce resources can be exchanged here, and now there are many things that cannot be bought at the food distribution point, leaving only basic living supplies, and the things that can be exchanged at the exchange office are more comprehensive than the previous food distribution points.

One point is almost ten catties of rice, and there are limited things that can be exchanged. In the end, Su Qing exchanged three catties of beef and four catties of pork.

The price of beef is also relatively expensive now. To barter outside, one catty of beef is exchanged for two catties of rice, and the price of pork and rice is one to one. The exchange office also sets the price according to this standard.

Yesterday, Su Qing never thought that Qi Jiang would be so keen to find out that the portion of the food was wrong, but fortunately, the amount bought back with one point today is about the same as yesterday, which is considered a success in fulfilling this lie.

Qi Jiang and he are not in the same household registration book, so they can also exchange one point for supplies. The meat is enough for today, so Su Qing went to exchange for a catty of vegetables. This alone cost 0.5 points, and the rest For 0.5 points, he exchanged for a small pack of tea tree mushroom.

When paying the money, Su Qing's heart throbbed in pain. He didn't expect that green vegetables would be so expensive, but after thinking about it, it was reasonable.

Today Xiao Lin has learned a lot, he is unwilling to come up for the last trip, and Qi Jiang has nothing in his hands, so he can only watch him run away.

When Qi Jiang went to settle the working hours, Xiao Lin had already handed in the task and the people went back. He didn't even see anyone in the end, so Qi Jiang thought they were "forced into prostitution".

When he came back, Qi Jiang told Su Qing about it, which made Su Qing couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Let him go. We've been sending him things all the time. It's probably difficult for him to do it."

Anyway, the things they sent these two days were not bad.

Su Qing was making hand-made beef balls. He was not strong enough, so he couldn't make it for a long time. Just as Qi Jiang finished moving things, he asked him to come over to help.

Qi Jiang hasn't seen so much meat in the house for a long time, and when he saw the vegetables soaked in water, he couldn't help asking: "How much is a catty of vegetables?"

"0.5 points per catty, each person can only buy one catty, I bought it with your passbook."

"A catty is about the same." Qi Jiang himself is a carnivore, and he doesn't really like vegetables, but he just gets a little greedy after not opening his stomach for a long time.

Su Qing himself likes to eat green vegetables, and he likes dishes with meat and vegetables.

"How about the mushroom fresh meat dumplings this morning?" Su Qing asked casually when he was choosing dishes beside him, "I made a plate of lotus root fresh meat dumplings this afternoon, see which one you like tomorrow."

"Where did you get the lotus root?" Qi Jiang was surprised.

Su Qing secretly thought it was bad, but he didn't show his feet, he just said that he bought it from the exchange office yesterday, and Qi Jiang believed it.

"The dumplings this morning are delicious." Qi Jiang nodded fondly, "The pancakes are also delicious, and they go well with the soup."

Su Qing bent her eyes and smiled: "As long as you like it."

"Of course I like it." Qi Jiang said with a sincere tone, "You have cooked so many dishes, I really haven't encountered anything I don't like."

Su Qing smiled even more happily: "Then what do you want to eat? I'll make it for you when I come back from buying vegetables tomorrow?"

Seeing that he was happy, Qi Jiang directly ordered: "Small fried beef, sweet and sour pork, braised pork ribs, braised pork with preserved vegetables..."

He talked more and more, and finally stopped helplessly: "Forget it, I can't finish counting, just do whatever is convenient for you."

These were all done by Su Qing for him, and when Qi Jiang said something, the smile in Su Qing's eyes deepened, and his eyes smiled into crescent moons, looking at Qi Jiang brightly.

There are surprises, touches, and surprises in it.

He didn't expect that Qi Jiang remembered so much.

"But...do you remember all the meat dishes?" Su Qing laughed, "I see, I will make you meat dishes in the future."

Qi Jiang rubbed his nose: "I also like vegetarian dishes, stir-fried lotus root, scrambled eggs with bitter gourd, vegetarian roasted eggplant..."

He counted a lot more, Su Qing was embarrassed by what he said, but more happy.

He even couldn't help thinking that Qi Jiang would really make people happy.

How can there be such a good person in the world?Good-hearted, courteous, caring, and amusing.

This evening, Su Qing cooked a few different dishes from last night, fed Qi Jiang well, and the two of them maintained a good mood throughout the night.

Even sleeping, they were no longer as entangled as last night, and they were smiling when they fell asleep.

However, their good mood only lasted until the early morning, because the earthquake came again.

The difference from last night was that tonight many people came to the square before twelve o'clock just in case. Facts have proved that their worries were not unnecessary.

The earthquake lasted for a long time until the 15th, when the moving work of those with real estate ended, and the earthquake at night still visited as scheduled.

Because of the earthquake, people have evolved from staggering forward in the dark to jumping several stairs with their eyes closed. It can be said that everyone is more familiar with the stairs than their own home.

At the same time, many people have also mastered skills such as: sensing whether there is anyone around in the dark to avoid bumping into people, hearing nearby footsteps in the dark, and identifying people by listening to the sound.

There are even people who can play mahjong in the dark.

Today is the 15th, and the real estate statistics started a week ago. In the past two days, households have been notified. The "new tenants" who do not have real estate but are willing to participate in housing allocation already know where their new home is and how to pay the rent. form.

That is to say, one month's rent is paid on the 15th of each month. The monthly fee will be charged when the full month is over, and the daily fee will be charged if the month is less than one month.

The previous notice said that the construction of the fence began on the 5th, and now ten days have passed, and most people's attention is on the housing allocation.

Now, the housing allocation has really come down, and other heads of households who had not registered before suddenly regretted it.

Because the addresses of this group of people are concentrated in the city center and the south of the city, even people whose other real estate is not in these two places can successfully settle in these two places because they have signed the consent form for housing allocation in advance.

After the assignment this time, everyone finally knows what the so-called "consequences at your own risk" means, because the safest places are all owned.

There are always more smart people in this world. Those who are smart enough have realized that the policy direction of Fengcheng management is different from the past. Nowadays, Fengcheng officials still want to race against time to protect Fengcheng.

Among them, time is a very important thing.

While many people were being cautious and didn't want to cooperate with the relocation work, the army on the outskirts of Fengcheng had been fighting the mutated animals for three consecutive days. In the past three days, except for the six hours of the earthquake, it could be said that the war was almost non-stop.

It also means that time is getting tighter and Fengcheng officials have no time to lobby, so what the officials do is to use thunderous means to benefit the obedient people first.

In this way, those who are not so obedient will naturally know what to do next.

Honest people and those who are smart enough will work together. Only those who are smart and fooled by their smarts and stupid people have not realized that the world has changed, and they still try to be a nail household.

You know, there are no nail households now.

Those who don’t have real estate used to live in rented houses, so they don’t need to hesitate at all. They must follow the authorities, and the houses they get may be bigger.

People who own real estate in the city center and south of the city are naturally very cooperative. After all, they are invincible innately, so there is no need to make themselves feel uncomfortable.

There are a lot of empty houses in these two places. Although it is not enough to accommodate everyone, it is possible to expand a little.

Therefore, most of the uncooperative people in the north, half of the east and west of the city are finally dumbfounded.

They also finally realized why the wall line is generally south, because Fengcheng itself is ready to give up half of the north.

After all, there are so many empty houses in the city, it is more convenient for management to bring everyone together, the defense line is narrowed, and the construction period of the wall is greatly shortened, which is also more conducive to protecting the safety of the people in Fengcheng.

After all, Fengcheng's military strength is limited, and there is no way to surround the entire Fengcheng, but it is not necessarily a small half of Fengcheng.

Once the walls are built, the military can free up its men to do other things.

Therefore, it is a very persevering and courageous decision to relocate all the people. At present, the advantages will outweigh the disadvantages in the future.

When the tenants moved, everyone's attention slowly turned to the fence that had already started to be built. Now, many people went to collect tasks to join in the construction of the fence, and let everyone know more about the point task system.

It can be said that points have become a new currency, and now it is in the stage of transitioning from the old currency to the new currency, and the purchasing power of the new currency is also higher than that of the old currency. Naturally, there are tasks to be done earlier.

After all, who knows when Fengcheng will abolish cash?

You know, the life of cash is long enough, even if it is abolished at this time, no one will say anything.

At the same time, the registration of the second batch of properties began.

In every city, there are far more people renting houses than those who can afford houses, so the second batch of inward migrants mostly refer to those who own houses within the fence line.

Before the registration of the second batch started, there was a new notice, which probably meant: this is the last batch of inland migration. If the threat of mutated animals becomes greater in the future, the defense line may be reduced again.

As soon as the notice came out, the rest of the people packed their bags and registered in a hurry, and most of them signed the agreement form for housing allocation.

Another small thing is that there was a news at the food distribution point that the amount of meat would be reduced to half a catty on the 15th, but because of the earthquake and inland relocation, everyone was a little panicked. In order to stabilize people's hearts, this news was not implemented in the end.

Three days later, the second group of inland citizens started their moving work.

This time, the relocation work in Fengcheng only needs to wait another week before it can officially end.

At the same time, some news spread from Fengcheng. It seemed that someone had seen a person with a mutated body. However, these news were not spread widely. Many people were very taboo about it, and they all agreed that it was a rumor.

In the middle and late March, the lukewarm temperature in Fengcheng finally changed again, and the temperature rose rapidly. Su Qing's cold that lasted for a month finally healed.

In fact, there is nothing to do at home. The most thing Qi Jiang does every day is to steal Su Qing's work, because the food he cooks is not as good as Su Qing's, so Qi Jiang only leaves the cooking to Su Qing.

Even, because they now eat dumplings or noodles for breakfast, these two are simple and easy to learn, so Qi Jiang wakes up earlier than Su every morning, leaving only Chinese food and dinner for Su Qing to cook.

Even so, Qi Jiang couldn't do much work.

Su Qing himself can find work, occasionally write and draw, and label their supplies, which looks clear at a glance.

Or read ancient books.

This Qi Jiang thought it was amazing. Su Qing said it was a book handed down by their family, and even read a few words to him, but Qi Jiang always forgot after reading it. It was obviously only traditional characters, and he knew it, but These things just can't be remembered.

In addition, when Su Qing reads, he also likes to draw on yellow talisman paper. Knowing that this is a secret recipe handed down from his family, Qi Jiang usually avoids it.

He is not a person who can sit still, and always wants to find something to do for himself, but he can handle the chores at home by himself, so he kind of wants to go outside.

The most important thing is that the leisurely life now cannot bring him a sense of security.

The power of the giant tiger had left a deep imprint on his heart before. He understood how terrifying a powerful mutant beast is, and he also knew that if he wanted to protect himself and Su Qing well, he must have stronger power.

They moved to a new place. During this period of time, he would fly to the sky in the morning to drive away the mutated birds and beasts here. Now the nearby area is his territory.

With the basic guarantee of the safety of the home, he was thinking, why are those powerful mutant beasts so powerful?

The answer may be found in the wild.

When eating in the evening, Qi Jiang cleaned up the dining table, looked at Su Qing who was pouring oil into the oil bottle in the kitchen, hesitated for a few seconds, and decided to talk to him, lest Su Qing would worry if he couldn't come back on time in the early morning.

"Su Qing, I want to go to the wildlife park tonight." Qi Jiang's first stop was there.

Su Qing didn't nod immediately, but continued to fill up the oil, and asked after thinking for a while, "Are you trying to find out why the mutant animals in the zoo are so big?"

Qi Jiang nodded: "Well, I've wanted to go and see it for a long time, but I didn't have the chance. The army must be looking for this reason at that time, so it's not suitable for me to go."

"But it's too late now."

The zoo must have been turned upside down.

"Not necessarily." Qi Jiang shook his head with a smile, "I guess, someone in Fengcheng has already mutated, but you and I must be in the early batch. We haven't heard any news about mutated people before, not even the hospital. I have heard of such people, and there is a high probability that there are not many mutants like ours. In other words, even if there are mutants in the army, they may not be as sensitive to dark matter as you and me, maybe I can find other things that are different."

Su Qing became silent. He wondered if there might be a group of mutated people like them.

He and Qi Jiang had guessed correctly before, starting in March, the silver substance that appeared in the dense fog was very suitable for human mutation.

The first time he discovered the mutated animal was in the hospital, and he remembered the time clearly.

On January 1th, he woke up in the morning and found a bulge on his back. The next day, on the 10th, he went to the hospital for an examination, but the machine was broken. That was the day he saw a two-headed snake.

Fengcheng was shrouded in the poisonous fog of death in the middle and early December of last year, a month after the appearance of the two-headed snake.

Generally speaking, animals have a process of mutation, so if the time is pushed back, the time for the first mutant animal in Fengcheng to appear must be a little shorter than a month.

The time when he mutated was also about a month after the poisonous death fog in Fengcheng appeared. At that time, his body should have been subtly affected by dark matter.

He can be affected, there is no reason why others can't, and with half a month of silver substance, the stage of large-scale human mutation in Fengcheng should have almost arrived.

This should be just the beginning.

After waiting for a long time for his reply, Qi Jiang became a little flustered: "What do you think?"

Su Qing came back to his senses, pondered for a moment and asked, "Tell me, are there any mutated people like us?"

After doing the math now, he actually mutated two months earlier than most people, a little slower than a small number of animals, and much faster than most mutated animals.

Qi Jiang frowned: "When did you mutate?"

"Starting on January 1." Su Qing waited for a few seconds before answering with a light cough.

Qi Jiang was stunned, but he was right on second thought, he would not have discovered Su Qing only if he had mutated earlier than him, otherwise he would not have been so surprised when he discovered it for the first time.

"I am February 2th, you should have guessed it."

Su Qing remembered that he was wearing such a thick down jacket back then, and said that he had to cover his sweat when he caught a cold, and covered his lips with a light smile: "Well, I guessed it, but how did you take your wings back?"

"My wings grew to a bottleneck period, and then I took them back. Yours still look so big, it should be a bottleneck period."

Su Qing shook his head, first tried to do this, and gave up when he found that he couldn't do it: "It should still grow, but my wings are not big, so it doesn't affect it."

Closer to home, both of them are the pioneers of human mutation. They should be quite special. They are hidden in the city. If there are the same batch of mutants, they will either hide like them, or they will be discovered by the authorities. Either that or not.

"So, the first thing I think about when I go to the zoo is, if there are the same batch of mutants, how should I avoid his detection?"

"My mutation direction is speed. Among the five senses, vision is the most blessed, followed by hearing. Yours is speed and strength. Among the five senses, hearing is the most blessed, followed by vision. We all have wings, and my mutation is more powerful. Extreme, yours is more comprehensive, and the different directions of mutation have different growth rates for individuals." Su Qing felt that the mutation was somewhat regular, "You should be more like a sky predator, and I am more like a bird that needs to avoid natural enemies .”

Qi Jiang nodded, and continued to summarize following Su Qing's words: "Actually, the variation in my strength has not yet entered the bottleneck period, and my hearing is also improving, but my vision is far inferior to mine, whether it is in the daytime or in dense fog." You. We all have wings, so we can fly high and see far, and the enhancement of vision is an inevitable direction."

"So, if the mutants in the same batch as us don't have vision in the direction of their mutation, they might not be able to spot us."

Qi Jiang paused: "Us?"

Su Qingqing nodded naturally: "Yes, I'm going too."

what? !

"But……"

Before Qi Jiang finished speaking, Su Qing interrupted him: "I'm going anyway, my illness is cured, and don't keep treating me like a fragile porcelain doll, I can fly higher than you, and I can fly higher than you." You are farther, faster than you, more flexible than you, I can protect myself."

After finishing speaking, Su Qing narrowed his eyes, with a hint of danger in his eyes: "You can say it before, I won't drag you back, and strike harder than you, you won't just comfort me, will you?"

Qi Jiang opened his mouth, but had nothing to say.

Okay, you've already said that, how can I refute it?

Moreover, Qi Jiang never felt that Su Qing would drag him back, because he was always afraid that he would not take care of him properly.

Seeing that Qi Jiang compromised, Su Qing continued: "It's not just that your mutation has not entered the bottleneck period, nor have I. I feel that there are two new forces brewing in my body, and my strength seems to have grown a little in the past two days. .”

"New power?"

"Yeah." Su Qing couldn't say for sure, "I felt it from the spine and the heart. It has the same root as the power of the wings, but it's a little different."

Qi Jiang's expression was serious: "When did it appear?"

Su Qing still shook his head: "Anyway, I felt it after I got better, maybe I ignored it because I was sick before."

New power is a question that needs to be treated with caution. Qi Jiang recalled Su Qing's appetite now, and asked again: "Do you need to replenish energy?"

Su Qing continued to shake her head: "No, I will be full every time."

Qi Jiang frowned and remained silent, and his tone was hesitant when he guessed: "Have you ever thought that it is not a new power? If it is a new power, it is reasonable to say that your current energy intake is not enough. The only explanation is, These two forces appeared together with the wings, but they were hidden in the body, you didn't feel it."

"Perhaps." Su Qing felt that this made sense.

After the two decided to pack up the things at home, they began to prepare the equipment for the zoo.

Qi Jiang took out a modern crossbow from his suitcase, which was relatively small and light. He picked it up and weighed it and found that it was not very heavy, so he handed it to Su Qing: "Will you take a look?"

Su Qing had never touched this kind of thing before, so he shook his head and dared not move: "It's too dangerous, I've never played with it before, what if I accidentally hurt you."

"No, it's safe." Qi Jiang stuffed it into his hand, "You have to have a means of self-protection. It's not enough to be able to fly. You still lack the strength to fight back. You fly fast, you have air supremacy, and you can use a crossbow to protect yourself." Arrows are quite suitable. In fact, practical bows are more suitable, but we don’t have suitable tools, so let’s make do with crossbows and arrows.”

This crossbow was indeed not heavy, but Su Qing still felt a little heavy in his hand. He wanted to say that he couldn't, but Qi Jiang was right, he needed a way to fight back.

"Do you think it's heavy?" Qi Jiang wasn't sure if Su Qing could use it.

"A bit."

"Didn't you say that your strength has become stronger?" Qi Jiang guessed that Su Qing's strength will gradually increase like him, "Maybe you will be able to easily pick up this crossbow after a while, you can get familiar with it first. Feel, I will teach you later."

Su Qing nodded, and changed his hand to hold it. Looking at the quiver that Qi Jiang took out, he knelt down and touched it, feeling a little fond of it.

Seeing this, Qi Jiang smiled and said, "How about giving it a try?"

Su Qing nodded impulsively, and felt a little embarrassed after nodding: "Can you?"

What's wrong with this?

Time was short, and there was no time to make a target, so he used double-sided tape to stick two thick boards on the wall, and then led Su Qing to stand a little further away: "Try the feel, it doesn't matter if you miss it."

Su Qing hummed lightly, raised his crossbow to aim, his posture was not correct, just as Qi Jiang wanted to remind him, he found that Su Qing's eyes changed, and the murderous look in his eyes shot out together with the arrow.

boom!

The arrow shot precisely into the center of the board, and Su Qing looked back at Qi Jiang expectantly: "How is it?"

"Very good." Qi Jiang nodded deeply, "Except for posture adjustments, you can do other things according to your own feelings."

"Really?" Su Qing's eyes lit up, he lowered his head and touched the crossbow in his hand, and grinned.

Qi Jiang nodded affirmatively. He was shocked by Su Qing's belief in killing.

Sure enough, Su Qing struck harder than him, like a natural archer, who knew exactly what he was going to do, and his decisiveness was frightening.

If it wasn't for his body dragging him down, he would definitely be more at ease.

That being the case, he wanted to push Su Qing even more.

"You're right, I can't always treat you like a porcelain doll." Qi Jiang said in a deep voice, "After I went to the zoo to see it, I will go exploring in the wild in the future, and you will go with me."

"Are you going to the wild?" Su Qing was still excited, and said immediately, "I'm going too!"

Qi Jiang's seriousness lasted less than half a minute, and he couldn't help laughing: "Didn't I tell you to go with me?"

Su Qing's ears were reddish, he shook his hands, and put down the crossbow and arrows with unsatisfied intentions: "Hands are so sore."

"Then let's play tomorrow." Qi Jiang took him to pour hot water to soak his hands, and carefully massaged his wrists, "It will be fine when you get stronger after a while."

Su Qing nodded slightly, looking at Qi Jiang's serious expression, her ears felt hot and her fingers curled up slightly.

"What's wrong? Is the water hot?" Qi Jiang took his hand and poured some cold water into it, "Now?"

"Not hot." Su Qing narrowed her eyes to hide the throbbing that she didn't know.
