After the fog, I became a birdman

At twelve o'clock in the morning, the dense fog had risen and the earthquake had arrived. Su Qing and Qi Jiang, who were sleeping in their clothes, woke up one after another. They ran to the living room together, carried a backpack on their backs, took them up the mountain, and left home.

They were going to the zoo tonight. They originally wanted to go early, but now that they didn't have a watch, they couldn't keep track of the time, and they were afraid of being discovered, so they decided to leave in the early morning.

Carrying a backpack is for emergencies. Su Qing’s crossbow and arrows are also put in the bag to get used to the weight in advance. Carrying Shanshan is for fear that if the magnitude of the earthquake increases, it will not be able to run out, so just take it with you.

There are crossbows and arrows in Su Qing's bag, and there is no way to carry the mountain, so the cat is on the Qijiang side.

At the beginning, Shanshan kept barking because of being hugged by an annoying person, but after Su Qing gave a few words of comfort, it quieted down obediently.

"Shanshan, we are going to other places, you can't call me." Su Qingfei stretched out two fingers beside Qi Jiang, pinched the little paw lying on the zipper and shook it up and down.

"Meow~" Shanshan nodded obediently.

Su Qing smiled and scratched Shanshan's chin: "It's so cute."

Seeing that the cat in the bag was still wanting to get tired, Qi Jiang swiftly stuffed its paws back and zipped it up: "It's almost here."

Su Qing nodded regretfully, and the cat in the backpack just quietly kicked Qi Jiang. Although it was like tickling, its anger was expressed.

Regarding this, Qi Jiang patted his backpack and threatened in a deep voice: "Be honest, always bully me behind Su Qing's back, be careful that I won't take you with me in the future."

Shan Shan couldn't help but growl, seemed to be more angry, and kicked again, Su Qing couldn't ignore this movement, and said helplessly: "Shan Shan, be good."

The cat in the bag was completely quiet, and a smug flash of Qi Jiang's eyes: Vulnerable.

The zoo in Fengcheng is located in the northern outskirts of the city. Before the poisonous death fog appeared, it attracted countless tourists with its rich variety, complete facilities, and labels similar to nature reserves. Together with the fishing ground Hummingbird Lake in the southeast, it was called "Fengcheng Double Paradise".

Not long after the poisonous death fog appeared, Fengcheng closed the wildlife park. After the army arrived in Fengcheng, a battalion of troops was assigned to guard it. Since then, the zoo, which has brought countless economic income to Fengcheng, has slowly Get out of people's sight.

Now half a month has passed since the previous mutated animal escape, Su Qing and the two flew to the ruins of the community near the zoo to hide.

The neighborhood they lived in was not far from the zoo, and it was one of the neighborhoods destroyed by the giant tiger back then, and there was still a faint smell of blood here.

The earthquake lasted for so many days, and the people in the nearby community had long been used to going downstairs to gather in an open place before twelve o'clock, and the nearest meeting point was not far from them.

Now the inland relocation work is about the same, most people have moved to the south, and this is in the north of the city, so the meeting point is all the families whose relocation has not been completed, and the number of people seems to be very small.

"I'm going to squat near the neighborhood. I want to see who broke the door of my house last night to steal something!"

"Your house was stolen too?"

"That's right, you damn thief, don't be caught by me!"

"Have you told the community management office? Ask the army to investigate. They have military dogs. I heard that they have arrested a lot of people recently."

"So what if I catch it? Maybe I've eaten all the food, how much can I pay? Why don't I catch it myself and beat me up!"

"Don't worry, if you get caught stealing, raping, and slipping, you're going to work as coolies on the construction site. You might even get blackmailed if you beat me up."

"Really? I'll go right away!"

"Go again during the day and during the day, haven't you heard any strange noises at night?"

Su Qing and Qi Jiang, who were hiding in the ruins, looked at each other and pricked up their ears tacitly.

"what sound?"

"It's at the zoo. Every night there is something howling and howling. I heard that the patrol team has been looking for it for several days, but they haven't found it."

"Then we are in danger? Could it be that there are some mutant animals?"

Everyone's expressions changed. When the mutated animals in the zoo fled, they lived closest. When they evacuated, they saw with their own eyes how terrifying the tiger was.

Right now, the bloody smell in those two neighborhoods is still there, and no one would dare to go there.

Thieves appeared frequently after the earthquake, and they broke into the house to steal things when everyone was not at home, and many people were arrested.

Su Qing and Qi Jiang thought that what they heard tonight was just ordinary gossip, but they did not expect to hear some useful news.

"You said, will there be mutated animals inside?" Su Qing looked at the gate of the zoo from afar.

"There must be." Qi Jiang nodded affirmatively, "The zoo is next to the defense line in the northern suburbs, and it is also the best hiding place for mutant animals that sneak in. Otherwise, there would not be two companies stationed now."

It used to be a battalion, but now there are two companies, which fully demonstrates the vigilance of the army to this place.

The soldiers at the gate began to change shifts, Su Qing and Qi Jiang were about to start to sneak in, when suddenly a black figure rushed over to the entrance of the zoo in the dark on the other side.

"Wang Wang Wang!"

Several military dogs immediately barked and yelled at the zoo, and the soldiers nearby also rushed over.

Qi Jiang tutted lightly, and raised his chin towards Su Qing: "Let's go!"

The speed of the two was much faster than that black shadow, and they flew past in the air, so the military dogs on the ground looked up suspiciously.

If it hadn't been for someone to startle the snake, they would not have aroused the suspicion of the military dogs after spraying the deodorant in advance.

Qi Jiang took out the map of the zoo, and flew to the ruins of a nearby tall building with Su Qing.

This is a distribution area for tourists, with various entertainment facilities. In the past, the distribution area was always crowded with people, but now it is empty like a ghost town, and even many buildings have collapsed.

A company of soldiers was stationed in the square below. Su Qing saw a person being held down, and it looked like the black shadow just now.

Su Qing touched Qi Jiang with his elbow, raised his chin, and said silently: "Look at that!"

There was a very tall and thin man on the ground. His legs looked very long and his proportions looked very uncoordinated. His eyes were shimmering. Looking back at the black shadow they saw just now, the direction of this man's mutation should also be speed and vision.

"Company commander, I caught a mutant and said he was here to find the secret of the zoo."

"Take it for careful interrogation."

"Yes!"

The turmoil below quickly calmed down. A group of soldiers came in to inquire at the door, and when they learned that someone had been arrested, they returned back the same way.

Qi Jiang lowered his head and continued to look at the map, pointing to Baihu Mountain, motioning for Su Qing to follow.

The safari park is in depression everywhere, and many facilities have been destroyed by violence, which is the trace caused by the escape of the mutated animals.

In the past, the greening here was done very well, there were many tall trees, coming here is like being in a beautiful and gentle forest, but now all the grass and trees are dry, and many of them have been knocked to the ground.

"This place should have been cleaned up." Qi Jiangfei walked on the spacious road, looking at the trees lying here and there on the withered yellow grass next to him from time to time.

"I heard that they will be checked during the day, and they will be stationed near the door at night." Su Qing recalled a news he heard before.

Flying all the way to Baihu Mountain in the east, the two found a small lake that had dried up. All the fences on the mountain had collapsed, and there were many fallen rocks on it, which was completely destroyed.

When he came here, Qi Jiang looked at Su Qing: "Did you feel it?"

Su Qing nodded slightly: "Well, the dark matter in this lake is extremely active."

From this point of view, they should be heading in the right direction. They found the lairs of those large mutated animals, especially the lair of the tiger, and they found something when they came here.

The lake seemed to have been dry for a while, the silt was dirty and hardened, and there were traces left by a strip-shaped round object on the edge. Su Qing knew it was a water pipe at a glance.

Sure enough, the army also suspected that there was a problem here, and pumped out all the water, and turned the bottom of the lake upside down.

At this time, Qi Jiang had already flown around the lake, and then took out a map to look at: "This lake will flow out to the nearby Huaguo Mountain, Swan Pavilion, Orangutan Garden and other places, and almost half of the water sources in the northeast will flow. After passing through here, I saw that there is no abnormal reaction in the drains flowing out, and the source should be here."

Qi Jiang put on his gloves, took a wooden stick and poked into the mud, but naturally he couldn't find anything.

"The dark matter here is so active, it should be traces left by something." Su Qing looked at other places, "Shall we go to the side to look for it?"

They went to other places to search again. Most of the places where dark matter is active are water sources, but the most active place is Baihu Mountain.

Naturally, these places have already been searched to the bottom, so they didn't gain anything after coming down all night.

Although they didn't find anything, at least they determined one thing. There should be something like a catalyst in nature to accelerate the mutation of animals and even humans.

The defense line was not far outside the zoo, and it had only been three hours since they came in. Adhering to the policy of coming all come, the two continued to fly north.

Flying near the Bird Garden, Su Qing suddenly sensed something and stopped to look over there.

"What's wrong?" Qi Jiang asked in a low voice.

"I seem to feel something..." Su Qing tried hard to describe, but she was not very sure, "It's very faint, I can't describe it."

"Let's go and have a look." Qi Jiang made a prompt decision.

The Bird Garden is a mountain surrounded by iron nets. At the foot of the mountain is a spherical building with a big hole in the top. The door is closed. They entered through the hole, and a smell of fermented bird droppings immediately entered their noses. Qing immediately turned around and flew out.

Qi Jiang's face turned green from the smoke, and he didn't forget to ask: "How is it? Is it here?"

Su Qing shook his head, looked up the mountain: "It's up there."

"Up above is the Birds of Prey Paradise. I remember that golden eagles were also introduced." Qi Jiang looked at the iron net with holes in it in the air, "Be careful, not all the birds here may have escaped."

"it is good."

Flying carefully to the top of the mountain, they didn't encounter any birds. There was a large bird's nest made of messy branches on the rocks here, which was about twice the size of ordinary golden eagles. Judging from the newness and style of the branches, it looked like It has been expanded on the bird's nest built by humans.

There were three light golden oval eggs in the middle of the nest. The rocks on the top of the mountain rolled to the ground, and one was hit by a stone. The egg liquid was a bit smelly at the moment.

"Is this the egg of a golden eagle?" Su Qing frowned, "I remember that the egg of a golden eagle is white."

"It may be the eggs of other birds." Qi Jiang touched it with his hand, and his fingertips were covered with a thin layer of dust. "It's been a while since I left, and I guess it was when I fled."

"Don't even want a child?" Su Qing touched the egg in the middle with some pity, "I can feel that the vitality of this egg is already very weak, let's take it back and try to see if it can hatch?"

"It's up to you." Qi Jiang said as he looked around the bird's nest, and found a few dark brown feathers. When he picked it up, he looked a bit like the feathers of a golden eagle.

Su Qing had already wiped off the dust on the eggshell, and carefully put the light golden egg into his arms, as if some instinct had been touched. When he was holding the egg, the wings behind him began to shake slightly, almost A fluff fell down with a streamer.

Qi Jiang caught it quickly with his eyes and hands, and felt a warmth in his hands, which was very miraculous.

He touched Su Qing's wings when he was rubbing ginger on Su Qing before, and it didn't feel this warm, instead it was slightly cold, but this time it seemed very different.

Su Qing turned around, vaguely aware of something, took a few fluffs and put them in his pocket, then carefully put the egg inside.

"It likes it very much." Su Qing touched the eggshell in surprise suddenly, "I can feel it."

Qi Jiang's expression was a little subtle: Su Qing can still hatch eggs?

He also has wings, is it possible for them to lay an egg after that?

Thinking of this, he suddenly regained his energy, and felt that he had thought too much. Both he and Su Qing were men, and they gave birth to a child.

"Can't the other egg hatch?" Qi Jiang touched another intact egg.

Su Qing sensed carefully, but didn't feel the same fluctuation, and shook his head slightly: "I don't feel anything, do you want to take it back?"

"Then take it back, what if it hatches?" Qi Jiang picked up another egg and looked at Su Qing, "Can your wings still shed hair?"

Su Qing shook herself, but she didn't shake out the hair, so she could only divide half of the few fluff in her pocket and put it in her other pocket: "Give it to me."

Soon, his left and right sides raised a circle, which looked quite symmetrical.

Afterwards, they had nothing else to gain in the zoo. Seeing that the time was almost up, they also hurriedly left.

Flying out of the zoo, Su Qing still felt a little regretful: "Didn't I hear that there were ghosts crying and wolves howling before? I thought I would meet them."

"Unlucky, it might be solved, anyway, it's either a mutant or a mutant animal." Qi Jiang is not very regretful, "Our harvest this trip is not bad."

Su Qing touched the two eggs on the left and right, and nodded deeply: "Well, it's really good."

Back home, the earthquake just stopped, and Qi Jiang put Shanshan back into the cat's litter. This guy slept soundly all the way, completely unaware that a new little guy was about to come to compete for his favor.

Qi Jiang was cleaning the room. In the room, Su Qing took a bamboo basket and spread several layers of thick towels inside to make a bird's nest, then put some fluff on it, and then put two bird eggs in it.

"Have you thought about how to tell Shanshan?" Qi Jiang walked in and asked.

Su Qing nodded with a smile: "Shanshan is very obedient, from now on these two... three little guys should be able to get along well."

Qi Jiang smiled inexplicably: "Go to sleep."

Early the next morning, Qi Jiang got up to make breakfast, and when he went into the room to fill up the flour, he suddenly found a cockroach running past on the floor. Judging by his precise eyesight, the cockroach was not small in size.

This is the kitchen, a place dedicated to storing food. Qi Jiang felt a little disgusted and put down his things. He immediately searched in the direction just now. After moving several jars, he found no trace of cockroaches.

boom!

The cockroach that was about to take off died tragically under the slipper.

Qi Jiang frowned tightly, raised his foot, took out a tissue, picked up the cockroach's body and threw it into the trash can, and washed his hands in disgust for a long time before continuing to cook.

Qi Jiang is kneading the noodles while making the soup. He still doesn't know how to pull noodles like Su Qing, so the noodles are always intermittent and of different thicknesses.

The strong smell of pork soup came, and Qi Jiang yelled as he went down: "Su Qing, get up and eat."

Su Qing in the room woke up slowly, sat up and yawned because she didn't get enough sleep, lifted the quilt and got out of bed to wash, and came out a few minutes later to pour Shan Shan cat food.

Qi Jiang came out with two big bowls of noodles: "It's time to eat."

Today's noodles tasted similar to yesterday's. Su Qing ate two mouthfuls and felt that the soup base was good, and the drowsiness disappeared: "The soup is delicious."

Of course Qi Jiang knew that Su Qing was flattering him, but that's what he was doing, so he was quite happy, and sat down with a smile: "I'll practice a few more days, and the ramen should be almost ready."

Su Qing nodded slightly, drank a few sips of soup slowly before continuing to eat noodles, and waited for Qi Jiang to eat two bowls before finishing his bowl.

He had to eat two big bowls of noodles in the morning, and Qi Jiang had to eat four or five bowls, so he had to make a big pot every morning.

When going in to serve the noodles, Su Qing lifted the lid of the pot and took half of the bowl of noodles, and then filled the soup in. Just as he was about to go out, he found a big black cockroach lying on the window.

Su Qing took a deep breath, immediately put the lid on the pot, took out the bowl, and then went back to the kitchen, slammed the door and flew up.

"Su Qing, why..."

Snapped!

The familiar sound of slippers came, Qi Jiang's knocking hand paused, and the kitchen door was opened the next second. Su Qing came out with a slipper frowning, and flew to the trash can to shake the dead cockroach into it.

"Why is there another one?" Qi Jiang felt that he lost most of his appetite.

Su Qing's appetite was even worse, but eating enough food every day was a must, and he didn't dare to be willful, so he could only wash his hands and come back to eat.

They tacitly did not continue to talk about this topic, Qi Jiang went to wash the dishes after dinner, Su Qing was thinking about what to do with a sullen face.

"Brother Jiang, did you see it when you woke up this morning?"

"Well, I found one that was killed, but we didn't find any cockroaches before we moved in. There shouldn't be many. Let's move out the kitchen and clean it later."

"Block all the drains and everything. Cockroaches have entered the house, and I don't know how many are hidden in the dark. Don't you hear the footsteps of insects now?" Su Qing listened carefully and could hear a lot of them nearby. The sound of little bugs moving.

Qi Jiang was stunned for a moment, and his expression became more and more grim: "Why are there so many bugs? They haven't been there for the past two days."

"It may be that the weather is getting warmer, and the eggs have hatched." Su Qing felt his scalp tingling, "Block all the water inlets and outlets and clean them up."

"Row."

Soon, their family's vigorous insecticidal activities began.

As Su Qing thought, there were indeed many cockroaches hiding in the kitchen, both large and small. The most frightening thing was that these cockroaches could fly.

Fortunately, Su Qing flies fast, and Qi Jiang flashes fast, even so, just cleaning a kitchen makes them sick enough.

The floor is made of wood. After killing all the cockroaches and other unknown insects, Su Qing looked at the floor and then at Qi Jiang: "What should I do next?"

There must be something down there, and it sounds like a lot. It makes me sick to think about that scene.

"Cut the weeds and get rid of the roots." Qi Jiang didn't want to be disgusted in the future because of being lazy.

Su Qing wrinkled her face, nodded heavily, and zipped up the transparent raincoat, feeling a little hopeless: "Smash it."

Qi Jiang cursed a dirty word in his heart, and started prying the floor with a tool.

Sure enough, just as Su Qing said, when they found a cockroach, there would be thousands of troops hiding in the dark.

As soon as the wooden board was pried up, dozens of bugs crawled out immediately. Qi Jiang stepped on it desperately with his scalp numb, and Su Qing also took the paddle net desperately to shoot. After a while, there were bug corpses lying on the ground .

Afterwards, they pried up the kitchen floor, even if they didn't hear anything, they pried it up and looked at it again. The two of them were disgusted by these bugs all morning.

The drains and everything were sealed, and the cabinets and everything were checked. Afterwards, they cleaned up and then disinfected. Qi Jiang and Su Qing opened the kitchen door and walked out like half-life. They also brought a bunch of bug corpses along the way. And the eggs come out.

"I'm going to buy cement." Qi Jiang took off his raincoat and put it in a corner, his face was green with disgust, "I'll resurface the kitchen floor with cement this afternoon, and don't need the wooden floor."

"There are still several rooms." Su Qing felt that the house was full of bugs, "Hurry up, think about how we cleaned up so many eggs, if you don't hurry up, there will probably be another pile after two days."

The weather hasn't warmed up in the past two days, and the bugs haven't appeared yet. Now there are so many bugs popping up all of a sudden. At this rate, if we don't clean it up early, maybe the house will become a nest of bugs in the future.

"Thinking about it makes me sick." Su Qing rubbed her arms, the goosebumps couldn't go away.

Qi Jiang took the garbage down, Su Qing originally wanted to cook, but now he has no appetite at all.

He was not in the mood to toss about, so he simply kneaded the noodles and prepared to deal with them in the next few days.

Qi Jiang also bought a bottle of insecticide and came back, walked towards the kitchen non-stop, closed the kitchen door with a bang, and couldn't wait for a second: "Su Qing, you cook first, I'll go into the kitchen and spray it once, after eating Lay the floor again."

Su Qing nodded hurriedly, then felt something was wrong, and quickly shouted: "Don't!"

Qi Jiang had already opened the lid to kill insects, and opened the door after hearing this: "What's wrong?"

"It will take several days for the cement floor to dry. We don't have enough space. There is no way to pry the floor in other rooms. The bugs have doubled. Let's pry the whole room again." Su Qing asked him to see the living room full of supplies. .

Qi Jiang was also dizzy from the nausea, and quickly realized that he put away the insecticide unwillingly: "In the afternoon, pry the floor of the storage room and the study room next to it, and do it as soon as possible."

"Let's eat first, I cooked the noodles, not the rice."

To be honest, Qi Jiang didn't have the appetite to eat, so it would be nice to simply eat some noodles.

It was the first time he and Su Qing were so silent when eating, they were not in the mood to talk, and continued to work after eating.

In the evening, according to their plan, they should go to the wild to see, but after a whole day of tossing, the two of them were not in the mood anymore.

When the earthquake hit in the early morning, the two went to the square to rest together, and happened to hear everyone talking about the sudden increase of cockroaches in the house.

As soon as the weather gets warmer, there will be insects. Although there are a little more, everyone doesn't take it seriously. They quickly talk about which insecticide is effective. Generally speaking, they just feel troublesome and sigh a few words.

Listening to everyone's words, Su Qing felt that they didn't realize the importance of the matter, and asked Qi Jiang hesitantly in a low voice: "Tell me, should we speak out?"

"I mentioned it when I bought insecticide today. There are quite a lot of people nearby. I also reminded the food distribution point and did everything I could." Qi Jiang told him to be calm.

They never imagined before that the first thing that warming weather brings is not comfortable weather, but the outbreak of insect plagues.

I hope everyone can pay attention to it.
