After the fog, I became a birdman

As soon as Su Qing and Qi Jiang arrived at the window, the staff gave them a form: "Fill this out first, and read it carefully."

Because most of the mutated pets will go to the front line to assist in the battle, so the injury rate is not small, and death is inevitable.

Because of this, the first form given by the staff is the Life and Death Responsibility Letter, which indicates that the mutated pet may be injured or killed during work, and if the pet becomes disabled or dies due to work, it will receive a pension.

Su Qing knew about this before he came, and simply signed his name, and then got a new form, which mainly filled in the pet's basic information, such as name, gender, weight, mutation direction, and so on.

Su Qing took a pen and filled it out carefully, while Qi Jiang watched from the side. When he filled in the gender, he smiled shortly: "If you don't tell me, I would have forgotten that Shanshan is a girl."

Shan Shan looked up at him resentfully, changed his position in Su Qing's arms, turned his back to him, and meowed ferociously.

After filling out the form, the staff took it over and checked it again. When there was nothing wrong, he lowered his head and signed his name, took out his seal and stamped it.

"Okay, at five o'clock this afternoon, the instructors will come and take away the newly recruited battle pets." The staff gave Su Qing a pamphlet, "Generally, the mutant pets that join the job are called war pets, and new recruits need to be closed. Training is also to determine what kind of work they are more suitable for. At present, the direction of Shanshan's variation is tentatively set at speed, and detailed testing will be carried out after entering the job."

Su Qing opened the booklet next to it, which detailed the restrictions on pets and masters, such as not to hurt people for no reason, etc.

After he finished reading, the staff gave him another piece of paper: "The training is over in five days, and the pets will be distributed to various places according to the assessment results. You can use this release note to go to the first place from 28pm to 6pm on the 10th." The police academy brings the war pets home. If you are successfully recruited, each war pet will wear a collar and ID card, and will also give you a war pet ID card. If you fail to enroll, you can just take it home."

Su Qing glanced at the release note, then put it in his pocket, and heard the staff say: "Shanshan is a small battle pet, the direction of mutation is speed, and it may be assigned to the auxiliary class. The basic salary of all battle pets is 300 The points will be adjusted according to the direction of work in the future. On the 15th of every month, you can use the ID card of the battle pet and your ID card to distribute the food to receive wages. Is there anything else you don’t understand?”

"Shanshan will go home every few days in the future?"

"Go home once a week and take a day off. The specific day of the week depends on the work schedule."

"I heard that the other battle pets are going home every day."

The staff was a little helpless, and said with full experience: "Those who go home every day are civilians. From Shanshan's current point of view, there is a high probability that they will go to the front line, and it is impossible to go home every day."

Su Qing nodded to express understanding, and then asked the staff some questions, and took Shanshan back when he understood clearly.

Because Shan Shan had to leave home in the afternoon, Su Qing unpacked a pack of small dried fish and fed it one by one. , was glared at by Shanshan provocatively when passing by the sofa.

This stupid cat who likes to cling to Su Qing will have to go to work in the future and come back once a week. Now is the time when Su Qing loves and is most reluctant to let go. Qi Jiang pretends not to see it and doesn't care about it at all.

From now on, the family will be his world, Su Qing is his, it has nothing to do with this stupid cat, what does he care about?

Does he still care about the high wages that can support him and Su Qing?

Thinking about it like this is really exciting, Qi Jiang almost wanted to tell Shanshan that he was going to sleep in the future, and its owner spent its wages to stimulate it.

However, Qi Jiang was just making a joke in his heart to make himself happy, and Shan Shan's salary was naturally Su Qing's.

Their water is used for bathing, washing vegetables and clothes. They are all stored in water storage tanks, which can be used for about two months in total. At this moment, a quarter of the water storage tanks are empty. Although there is no water, it takes up a lot of water. Take it out to make the living room even smaller.

"Where are you going to put it? There is no place to put it at home." Su Qing was forced to take off her shoes and stand on the sofa.

"I want to throw the furniture and these water storage tanks on the roof, so that there will be a lot of space in the house. Tomorrow, I will lay the floor of the storage room and the study room. When I come back, the floor will be hard and it can be laid. The rest of the room."

Su Qing felt a little pity: "If you lose it on the rooftop, you won't be able to get it back."

"Then throw the furniture on the roof, and put the water tank in the kitchen, and I'll set up a shelf." Qi Jiang was also a little reluctant to throw away these water tanks, because he would have to fill them with water in the future.

As for the furniture?It doesn't hurt to throw it away.

Su Qing didn't feel sorry for the furniture either, he only brought a bogu rack from the house full of furniture in Hongjiayuan.

Qi Jiang built a shelf in the kitchen, and then threw all these water storage tanks on it. The boxes without water are very light and are not afraid of falling.

Afterwards, he went to the opposite side and asked Sister Fang if they wanted furniture for their house, and quickly moved a wardrobe and bookshelf to Sister Fang.

Grandma Chen from 903 saw it and came over to ask. Seeing that she wanted it, Qi Jiang roughly said what furniture he had in his house, and gave Grandma Chen two single sofas.

There was no adult at home at 904, so Qi Jiang moved the remaining furniture to the roof, and it took more than a dozen times to move it back and forth.

When Qi Jiang came home, he closed the door and continued to work on home affairs. Su Qing had already moved some things out of the storage room, because Qi Jiang couldn't use the space to cheat when he was at home, so he had to do it by himself. Feeling very tired, I quickly leaned against the wall to rest.

"You seem to be a little stronger?" Qi Jiang poured him a glass of water, and was a little surprised to see that he had moved a lot.

"Well, my strength has been increasing, but I'm still tired very quickly." Su Qing took a deep breath, and coughed lightly as soon as he smiled, "I'll rest for a while and help you move."

"You rest first." Qi Jiang knew that he liked to help, so he didn't say the sad words of not letting him move, and rolled up his sleeves with a smile to move things out quickly.

The living room freed up a lot of space, just enough to put some things, so Qi Jiang went to the storage room to build a shelf, and put the rest of the supplies on it.

Su Qing felt dangerous when he saw it: "Why don't you lay it down, in case it collapses..."

"I know it in my heart." Qi Jiang told him not to worry, seeing that he still disagreed, he nailed a few more pieces of wood to support it, which seemed more secure, which made Su Qing agree to him laying the floor.

"I'm here to help too, let's finish the shop quickly." Su Qing was still a little worried.

Seeing this, Qi Jiang did not refuse, and cooperated with Su Qing in division of labor. He paved the cement inside, and pushed the empty bucket to Su Qing after laying a bucket, and Su Qing would shovel in another bucket of cement slurry.

The second bedroom did the same thing. Halfway through the bed, Su Qing guessed that it was almost time, so he stopped: "I'll take the mountain down."

Qi Jiang looked up and felt that it was almost five o'clock, so he put down his trowel and prepared to go out: "Do you want me to go with you?"

"No, I'll be back soon, be careful not to bump into the shelf." Su Qing was startled when he saw that he wanted to stand up.

Qi Jiang nodded, told him to be careful when going out, and then went back to continue working.

Su Qing's clothes got dirty when he was shoveling cement. Fortunately, he didn't feel bad about his work clothes. He wanted to change his clothes, but he thought about it, it was just going downstairs, and it would be troublesome to change clothes. Never mind.

He washed his hands and face, and sprayed a lot of disinfectant on himself and Shan Shan before going out.

It's afternoon now, there are not many people going downstairs to buy vegetables, and there is no one to meet on the stairs, Su Qing is a little tired and walks slowly, occasionally looking up and seeing bugs crawling around on the ceiling, he frowns and walks away hurry up.

When they reached the first floor, a woman came up with a veiled head, a tall hat, and thick clothes. Her hands were very thin and her nails were very long, holding a vegetable basket.

Seeing Su Qing, the woman quickened her pace. When the two passed by, she subconsciously lowered her head and ran up.

Su Qing's footsteps paused slightly, he actually sensed a strange fluctuation just now?

This reminded him of the behavior of the pack of wolves when they came to them with a clear goal. Perhaps in the eyes of the pack of wolves, there were also other fluctuations in them?

This was just Su Qing's guess, but he still remembered the feeling at that moment.

When they came to the food distribution point, Su Qing found two people standing in front of the window, both girls, a cabbage snake with the thickness of a forearm lying on top of one person, and a one-meter-long glass cabinet under the feet of the other person, inside was a Black spiders almost filling the glass case.

Su Qing looked at it and thought with admiration: Are the pets that girls like nowadays so wild?

When the two saw Su Qing, they smiled and said hello, and Su Qing nodded slightly in response.

After waiting for about ten minutes, a small truck came to the food distribution point, and a tall military officer stepped out of it, went to the window with his ID, and walked over after a while.

"Xiaoqing, long-legged, Shanshan." The officer rolled his name one by one, and nodded when he saw that the number was right, "Is it all here? I'm here to transport your war pets to the police academy for training. My surname is Liu."

"Hello, Commander Liu." The three spoke in unison.

Officer Liu nodded, and opened the door of the container. There were three soldiers sitting on small stools inside.

"This is the trainer assigned to your battle pets. The long legs are poisonous and need to be trained by the master for two days. Xiaoqing and Shanshan can be handed over to their respective trainers."

Chief Liu introduced their respective trainers to them. Shanshan's trainer happened to be surnamed Shan, with a single name and a character picture. He was relatively strong and dark, with an accent like that of the north. He had a very bold personality. Bald Zui also mentioned that he has an older brother named Shan He.

Su Qing also smiled, isn't the combination of these two brothers a picture of mountains and rivers?

"Shanshan likes to be good-looking, and sometimes his personality is a little bit bad, so please be more patient." Su Qing handed Shanshan to Shantu reluctantly, and then patted Shanshan's head before letting go.

"Don't worry, Brother Su, I will take good care of Shanshan." Shantu patted his chest and promised.

Later, he asked Su Qingshan what kind of snacks he usually likes, and Su Qing said something like dried fish, which are the foods that most cats like, and there is nothing special about them.

After he finished explaining what Shanshan likes to do at home, Shantu felt that Shanshan was a very well-behaved kitten, and since he took over Shanshan, Shanshan had been in his hands all the time. A macho heart couldn't help softening into a pool of water, completely unaware of what kind of hell-level partner he was about to face.

Chief Liu didn't stay for long, and Su Qing left with a slight sigh when the pickup truck left the field of vision.

He has good eyesight, so he stood there for a long time. Originally, Xiaoqing's master wanted to chat with him, but after waiting for a few minutes before he moved, the girl had no choice but to leave first.

Back home, Su Qing talked to Qi Jiang about the mountain map while helping him, and he was very reluctant to part with the mountain, Qi Jiang was secretly happy in his heart, but comforted Su Qing very caringly on the surface.

For example, Shantu has a good personality, and he is not afraid of being wronged by Shanshan.

Of course, he was actually more worried that Shantu would be wronged.

Su Qing is not a hypocritical person either, he just continued to work after half an hour and told Qi Jiang what happened when he went downstairs just now.

Qi Jiang's thoughts coincided with Su Qing's: "So, the pack of wolves came straight to us at the beginning, maybe it has something to do with this kind of fluctuation?"

"Well, I have this suspicion." Su Qing couldn't help worrying about Qi Jiang's safety, "If we guessed correctly, wouldn't it be too dangerous for you to go outdoors?"

Qi Jiang pondered: "Did you feel any fluctuations in my body?"

Su Qing also realized that they slept in the same bed, if there were fluctuations, they must have been discovered a long time ago, which shows that there may be conditions for the occurrence of such fluctuations.

"The woman you met is in the process of mutation. When the wolves came, my mutation has entered the bottleneck period, and you..." Qi Jiang glanced behind Su Qing, "You haven't entered the bottleneck period yet, Is it right?"

"Hmm." Su Qing felt that this guess made sense.

"So, maybe it's because it's undergoing a drastic mutation, that is, fluctuations caused by some factors being unstable." Qi Jiang pushed the empty bucket out, showing a smile that reassured Su Qing, "You don't have to worry about me."

"What if we guessed wrong?"

"Then I'll fly back. In short, it won't harm my teammates or me." Qi Jiang felt confident about this guess.

The term "bottleneck period" is just their own choice. In fact, Qi Jiang said last time that his wings have entered the bottleneck period. He can't feel any further strengthening or enlargement of his wings, but his strength has not yet entered the bottleneck period. During this period, things like the five senses are also growing slowly.

As for Su Qing, he didn't feel any power growing rapidly in his body at the moment, nor did he feel any bottleneck period, but his wings have been growing slowly from the beginning to now, and with it, the five senses Growth, and now it has added strength.

Although both of them are growing slowly, Su Qing has been growing at such a speed since the appearance of his wings, while Qi Jiang has exploded first and then slowed down, so strictly speaking, the situation of the two is different.

But one thing is for sure, Su Qing doesn't have any strength to enter the bottleneck period, and Qi Jiang already has one, so it should be certain that Qi Jiang's mutation has entered a relatively stable stage.

But according to this statement, the current situation should be that Su Qing cannot sense Qi Jiang, but Qi Jiang can sense Su Qing. However, this guess does not conform to their actual situation.

However, this set of conjectures is just their own thoughts, lacking various basis, Su Qing is not entangled.

Of course, Su Qing was still not at ease about Qi Jiang going to the wild: "Why don't we fly out tonight for a test?"

"Okay, let's go after dinner." Qi Jiang also felt that this was safer.

After they all finished laying the cement, the crowded state returned to the living room, and the sky became much darker.

As night fell quickly, Su Qing carried his crossbow again, because it would be his weapon in the future, so he didn't think it was too heavy, and Qi Jiang didn't say anything to help him carry it.

Qi Jiang was carrying an empty bag, and this time there was no oil bottle like Shan Shan, so he didn't bother to hide the smile on his face. Seeing that he was happy, Su Qing also smiled: "What are you laughing at?"

"It's nothing." Qi Jiang naturally wouldn't say that he was happy without the stupid cat.

The south side of the city was heavily guarded, and the east and west sides of the city were building walls, so this time they went to the familiar zoo in the north of the city, and planned to go out from there.

After going out, Su Qing found that his night vision ability was strengthened, and he could vaguely see the outline of the building without relying on the thick fog!

He didn't even go to the bathroom in the dark at home, and he would light candles if he was afraid of falling down, so he didn't know when this real night vision ability began to appear.

There is no need to delve into this matter, he immediately told Qi Jiang about it, Qi Jiang just felt happy, the more abilities Su Qing got, the stronger he was, and he could feel more at ease.

It's only been a few days since they came to the north of the city last time, and this place has become much more empty. At night, I didn't see any room lit with candles or anything like that, and I didn't hear any human voices.

The people nearby have moved away long ago, and there are almost no people in the north of the city. Only when you come to the zoo can you see a few patrolling soldiers.

Even so, the number of soldiers on the side of the zoo was much less, and when they flew in, the soldiers stationed in the square before were gone.

"There is not even a single company here." Qi Jiang sighed, "It really changes every day."

The two quickly crossed the zoo and saw soldiers stationed in the dark in the distance. Under the light of the bonfire, countless well-trained figures were constantly patrolling around the camp.

Farther away, the gunfire continued, and the two carefully detoured away from the camp, crossing the line of defense when the patrols were in shift, and the gunfire became closer.

The strong smell of blood wafted with the wind, and the soldiers under the bonfire looked extremely tired, but everyone cheered up and patrolled around, even if they didn't lose their pace once.

Hidden in a withered forest, Su Qing looked into the distance, and saw soldiers and mutated animals fighting in the valley where the mountain road was rugged. Bring it back.

The mutated animals are very cunning, and most of them focus on probing, so this is just a small battle, but this mountain depression is full of blood, and the soil and rocks are stained with a thick blood color. Presumably this is also an important line of defense.

Qi Jiang was looking into the distance, he couldn't see the terrain, but he could see a lot of bulb-like eyes looking at the valley from a high place, he was afraid that those mutated animals were also in the mountains, so he guessed that there were mountains ahead.

Qi Jiang is not familiar with Fengcheng, but no matter how familiar he is, he also knows that the north of the city zoo is a high-speed road, and the road is flat, not like it is now, full of mountains.

He asked in a low voice with some uncertainty: "Su Qing, were there so many mountains near the zoo before?"

"The tallest mountain outside Fengcheng is Foshou Mountain. The highest mountain inside is in the zoo and Hummingbird Lake. There is absolutely no such a depression. It used to be a highway, next to the railway, it is very flat, and there are many farmhouses around."

Su Qing was also shocked, he could vaguely see the outline of the nearby terrain, and only felt that this place was extremely strange!

The farmhouse must be gone now, if they didn't come from Fengcheng, Su Qing would not dare to recognize that this is the boundary of Fengcheng.

"So it looks like the terrain outside has really changed?" Qi Jiang suddenly realized, "No wonder the officials are so anxious to move in."

Half an hour later, the battle stopped, the mutated animals retreated, and the soldiers began to clean up the battlefield. The pets went to bring back the mutated animal corpses, and they were trained to eat some of the corpses. The bloody bead was held aside and put away.

Qi Jiang and Su Qing looked at each other, passed quickly through the col, and flew a little farther before finding a place with more mutated animals to stop. After waiting for a while, no mutated animals found them.

How is this going?

Su had been prepared early in the morning to run away if found, but unexpectedly no mutated animal found them? !

Qi Jiang had a flash of inspiration: "Wait, were there still mountains at that time?"

"But there are other mutated animals nearby, so why just run after the mountains?" Su Qing felt something was wrong.

As a mutant, and one of the earliest batch of mutants, Qi Jiang still thinks that there is nothing wrong with his idea.

Either he was really wrong, or Su Qing's mutation was different from theirs.

However, now that there is a lack of reference, he did not delve into it, but prepared to go back home: "Let's go, go back first."

Su Qing paused, and looked into the distance. He felt that there was a special fluctuation attracting him, but now it was too dark outside, and accidents were easy to happen, so he naturally had no desire to look for it.

The two returned home the same way, and Su Qing told Qi Jiang what he had just discovered.

The last time Su Qing found an abnormality, he brought back two unnamed bird eggs. In the past two days, the energy fluctuation of the bird egg that Su Qing mentioned at the beginning has become more and more obvious, and it is obvious that mutant animals will hatch.

Qi Jiang felt that the things this time were not ordinary, but he also agreed not to look for them now.

"Have you seen those beads? The energy fluctuations are really great." Qi Jiang felt that what he saw tonight was a bit fantastic, "Besides, the pets can eat the flesh and blood of mutated animals to replenish energy. More than a dozen pets only They can’t eat half a corpse. Mutated animals eat almost half their own body weight in food every day, as is the case with Shanshan, but even if the food intake of those war pets is increased by ten times, it is less than half of their body weight. Obviously, the flesh and blood of mutant animals is harmful to the same kind. It also plays a big role.”

Su Qing naturally saw it too, and boldly guessed: "The soldiers still eat ordinary food, and the meat they eat doesn't have any energy fluctuations. Is it possible that humans can't eat the meat of mutated animals? Or are there any side effects?"

"Maybe, I just don't know what those beads are for, and the energy fluctuations are stronger than flesh and blood."

Su Qing recalled what grandpa said, and pondered: "Could it be the demon pill that grandpa said?"

"What did you say? Demon Pill?" Qi Jiang felt even more fantastic, and frowned suspiciously, "There is such a thing in this world?"

Su Qing shook his head: "I don't know, I just heard from my grandfather that there were monsters a long, long time ago, and there were monster pills in the monster's body, which gathered the essence of the monster, but my grandfather has never seen it."

Having said that, it is really similar, Qi Jiang continued to ask: "Then what else did your grandfather say?"

"No matter how many there are, it will be gone. The inheritance of the practice world has been broken several times. If I hadn't heard from my grandfather, I wouldn't even know where the demon pills came from." Su Qing himself has read novels, so he can only guess randomly. , "Maybe it's really the same as in the novel."

Qi Jiang heard a new term: practice world.

He thought of the books Su Qing had read before and the ghostly symbols he had drawn, and he understood that this was something from the world of practice.

However, Su Qing only reads books when he really has nothing to do at home, and meditates as long as he wakes up in the morning when he is in good spirits. He can feel a lot of energy getting into Su Qing's body, but Su Qing is so weak that he can't even sleep. He couldn't even beat them.

Thinking about the fact that Su Qing said that the inheritance has been broken, Qi Jiang almost understands that people in the practice world are not as powerful as he imagined.

"Then I'll go out this time and find a way to bring you one back for research. The outside world is changing rapidly, and maybe I can research something from the demon pill." Qi Jiang looked forward to it.

Su Qing was taken aback, and wanted to say that he was not good at learning, he was just an ordinary second-level Qi training guy, how could he learn anything.

But after thinking about it, this is not necessarily a demon pill. After all, mutant animals appeared because of dark matter, and he sensed dark matter a long time ago. Maybe he can really research it.

Moreover, so what if it is a demon pill?Grandpa used to be so powerful that he could only practice the third level of qi, but now he is practicing the second level of qi, it seems not bad, right?

"Then I'll leave it to you, but if it's dangerous, it's better to come back safely." Su Qing still didn't refuse after all.

"Don't worry, no matter what happens, I will definitely..." Come back safely.

Qi Jiang's expression was serious, and halfway through the sentence he felt that it was not good to set the flag, so he changed his tone and said, "I will be careful."

The two of them just wanted to try it with a fluke mentality, but they didn't have much hope for it.
