After the fog, I became a birdman

In a blink of an eye, the 28th will arrive.

Today was the day to pick up Shanshan and come back. Su Qing took the clearance ticket and took the car to the No. [-] Police Academy, wearing a thick coat and waiting outside while coughing.

In fact, his cold was almost cured yesterday, but it suddenly came back again today, and he almost fell when he got up.

On a hot day, he was wearing a thick coat. People passing by looked at him frequently, and whispered whether he was a mutant. Before he could say a word, they heard him coughing, and the expressions of passers-by became pity again.

The number of bugs has increased sharply in the past two days, even the streets that are disinfected every day have bugs running around, but these are all avoidable, and the most difficult to avoid is the bugs at home.

More and more people are bitten by insects, the hospitals are overcrowded, and there are fewer people queuing at the food distribution point. Every person who is bitten has symptoms of coughing, and severe body convulsions. It was very high, and he had to go through nearly 30 hours of pain before he died.

The first death occurred in the middle of the night on the 26th, and there were more and more deaths later. Everyone saw the color of the bugs, and the most common thing to do every day was to check whether there were any bugs in the house.

Of course, those who can check are those who have worked diligently to disinfect the pests before. Most of them have no chance to check, because the bugs in the house have already crawled everywhere.

For some reason, the worms reproduce extremely fast, even faster than the red worms in the dark soil back then. If eggs are laid today, they can hatch tomorrow and grow up at night.

There were only a small number of people who were willing to pry the floor before, and this group of people can be regarded as enjoying the previous bonus. Now they only need to stay at home to prevent outside bugs from running in.

There are also some people who are a bit unlucky. They pried the floor and forgot to check the furniture. Good guy, they were bitten and went to the hospital.

Most people have dealt with the bugs on the surface before, regardless of whether the furniture has been treated or not, but the floor must not have been treated. The cement floor is the luckiest. Those with tiles and wooden floors have to be pried up for inspection.

The tiles are okay, even if the bugs crawl out, they can only crawl out of a small number of gaps or holes, and there is enough reaction time, the wooden floor is terrible, almost all the bug eggs underneath, the bugs directly bite the board and run away Come out, now the bugs in the house can't be killed, and it is completely uninhabitable.

As for why no pesticides?That's naturally because it's useless, it's not as effective as stepping on it.

Insecticides are useless, and we have to step on them to prevent insects from climbing up. Some insects can still fly, and some insects are too small to be found. In the end, we can only use fire.

In the past two days, there is a pile of unwanted furniture on the side of the garbage dump. The garbage truck keeps taking it away every day, but it can’t keep up with the speed of throwing away the garbage. Insects come out of the garbage dump and run all over the street.

Fire is the most effective, but it is also easy to cause fire. Fortunately, everyone has experienced circuit aging and fire before. Even a three-year-old child knows how to use a fire extinguisher, so there are not many places where fires occur.

Even so, the firefighters are too busy.

It can be said that in this human-insect war, the entire Fengcheng was turned on its back, and there was no free time every day.

Those who don’t have bugs at home can still sleep soundly. Those who have bugs can only suffer, because if you dare to sleep, bugs will dare to bite you. If there are more bugs, you may even be bitten off a layer of skin.

When the earthquake hit every morning, everyone dared not sit on the ground when they went out, for fear that some insects would crawl up. Everyone kept walking.

In addition to the pests, the biggest news is the notice on the 27th about mutants.

It was only then that people discovered that there were many mutants around them. The symptoms of the mutation were eating too much. After the mutation, their strength, speed, and five senses were enhanced. Some people would have beast-like parts such as horns and fangs. There are more other parts, but the proportion of the body will be adjusted according to the direction of variation, such as longer hands, longer feet, and so on.

The various abilities of mutants are obviously stronger than that of ordinary people. Although they are not as resistant to bullets as some mutant animals, Fengcheng still restrains them.

Compliance with laws and regulations has been emphasized, but the constraints are the same as ordinary people. At the same time, Fengcheng also appeals to ordinary people not to discriminate against mutants, and mutants should not rely on their strength to hurt ordinary people. It gives people the feeling that everyone is of the same kind , we are still a family, no one is special.

In addition, all mutants must be registered and are welcome to join the army.

As soon as the words welcome to join the army come out, ordinary people feel a little envious before they have time to discriminate. What does this mean?It means that mutants are really powerful, and they can also join the army. Now the benefits of military families are not too good.

The mutant who had been hiding before had no time to feel inferior, and was quickly replaced by pride.

In short, under the publicity and exaggeration of the management offices of various communities in Fengcheng, the impact of mutants on Fengcheng is not as great as that of bugs.

Before, Su Qing guessed that the increase in the amount of meat purchased by points was for the convenience of mutants. Once the notice came out, non-mutated people could only buy 1 catty of meat per day, while mutants still had 5 catties, which also proved his idea.

When the notice came out, Su Qing didn't go to register right away, because he was really unwell, and there were many bugs on the street, and he didn't even buy food these days, so naturally he didn't want to wait in a long line to register.

If he hadn't been going to pick up Shanshan, he wouldn't have gone out at all.

After waiting outside the police academy for about [-] minutes, there were more and more people around with clearance slips. Both mutants and ordinary people were wearing long trousers and long shoes, for fear that bugs would crawl on them.

Some bugs will run past on the ground. At this time, everyone will get out of the way in a panic. If the bugs climb on the shoes, they will scream a few times and stamp their feet desperately to throw the bugs off. If the bugs run slower, everyone will pass fiercely. Step on it.

There was a few puffs, and the sound of pulp bursting came, and everyone walked away in disgust.

Su Qing stays away from the crowd, coughs from time to time, and occasionally sees bugs coming, but he doesn't have the energy to step on them.

At around [-] o'clock in the evening, a group of soldiers in military uniforms came out with various pets. Among them, cats and dogs were the most numerous. When they saw their owners, the dogs barked one after another. other calls.

The owners outside the door walked up immediately, but they all stood outside the cordon, shouting their pet's name excitedly.

Su Qing still stood outside the crowd and looked at Shanshan, coughing from time to time, although he was excited, he really didn't have the energy to squeeze into the crowd.

There are a few people with the same indifferent expression as him, and most of them stand on one side without disturbing each other.

Commander Liu stood in front of the pets and soldiers. Everyone had seen him and greeted him.

"Hello, Commander Liu."

"Hello, Instructor Liu."

Commander Liu nodded slightly, took out a piece of paper and ordered soldiers: "The master's name is Lu Xiuxiu, and the war pet Lop-eared Rabbit is named Nuomizi."

"Come here!" A girl with light makeup and youthful fashion in the crowd squeezed excitedly to the front and jumped a few times.

Commander Liu gave the soldiers behind him a look, and soon a soldier came out leading a gray rabbit half as tall as a person.

"Nomizi has a distasteful personality, doesn't listen to commands, has passed the professional assessment, and is not very obedient. You are not allowed to join the job here. Miss Lu can take your pet back. If you intend to join the army, you can wait for a while. Someone will take you to understand related matters later, and you can also go back and think about it for a few days."

The girl was a little confused, and then she brought her pet to the side and waited. A few minutes later, she still went back with her pet.

Su Qing glanced at Nuomizi's neck and found that there was no ID card on the collar.

Looking at other pets, I found that these pets were divided into two groups. There were about a dozen of them with only collars and no ID cards. The remaining fifty or so had a black patch under their collars, which read With four lines of small characters.

At this moment, Shanshan was sitting in Shantu's arms, looking at Su Qing tilting his head to show off his cuteness, and there were also four lines of words on the ID card

Surname: Shanshan

Category: Smart Combat

Trainer: Shantu

Host: Su Qing

Su Qing took a closer look, and found that the category was really written as the smart combat category, not the combat assistant category mentioned earlier, that is to say, Shanshan really had abilities that he didn't know about.

Chief Liu read the names of some other people. Some war pets failed the entry assessment, some were not suitable for their personality, and some were not strong in obedience. The first two were taken back directly, and the last one depends on whether the master agrees to join the army together. .

All the battle pets that failed to join the job returned to their masters, and in the end only one person stayed, and the others went back after hesitation.

Soon a heroic female soldier came out and led them in. Commander Liu turned over the paper in his hand and began to read the names of the war pets who had successfully joined the ranks.

The second batch is civilians. There are about a dozen of them, and another female soldier takes them away. The rest are all members who need to go to the battlefield, that is, members who will be incorporated into the battle pet battle group later.

"The owner's name is Su Qing, and the battle pet Sanhuamao is named Shanshan."

Su Qing walked over: "Here!"

After he finished speaking, he coughed, Chief Liu took another look at him, and then read: "Shanshan has excellent professional assessment and passed the obedience. Here, he is allowed to enter the job and be incorporated into the Smart Combat Company. Mr. Su can go and talk to the trainer Shanshan." to find out about it.”

After all, he also mentioned: "Shanshan's professional assessment is very good, but his obedience is relatively average. The master can usually persuade him a lot."

Su Qing pursed her lips and nodded, and then walked aside with Shantu, only then did she notice that the dark circles under Shantu's eyes were a bit heavy.

He looks dark, and the dark circles under his eyes can be seen now. It is estimated that he really hasn't had a good rest recently.

"Xiao Tu, is it because Shanshan is usually misbehaving?" Su Qing stretched out his hand and hugged Shanshan into his arms. Shanshan's weight weighed a lot. He was not very prepared, his arms sank, and he coughed again.

Shantu scratched his head, and described Shanshan's usual performance in detail.

The direction of Shanshan's mutation is speed and minion attack. The claws can break steel, and the speed is top-notch even in the agile combat company. But usually he is really not obedient. He hides when he doesn't want to train. He has alarmed the chief instructor several times. .

That is, Chief Liu.

Originally, Shanshan could not succeed in joining the job, but once Shantu mentioned Su Qing, Shanshan became obedient, and it was only later that he mastered the method to make Shanshan obey orders.

But even so, the effect is not too great. Shanshan is very smart, and he is stuck on the qualified line. In the past five days, Shantu and Shanshan have been fighting wits and courage, and the dark circles under their eyes are getting worse day by day.

"Before I came, Chief Liu wanted me to ask if you would like to join the army." Shantu's voice was a little tired.

"I may not be able to do anything. I'm not in good health. I can't even run..." Su Qing coughed and patted Shanshan, "Shanshan will be good, I'll go back and talk to him."

Shanshan yelled guiltyly, and Shantu continued to file a lawsuit to let Su Qing know the real situation of Shanshan: "I came to see you today, and Shanshan became much more well-behaved. According to her personality, if she really goes to The battlefield is very easy to sacrifice. Although the obedience is qualified, the chief instructor is afraid of accidents on the battlefield, which will not only harm her but also her teammates. This means that this time you take it home for education for a day, and send it back tomorrow afternoon , we will give him another assessment."

Su Qing nodded upon hearing the words: "I see."

After that, Shantu talked about the relevant benefits.

The wages of combat pets are the highest. Shanshan’s monthly salary is 500 points. Now Shanshan is regarded as successful in the assessment, and his salary is still counted. Even if he fails the second assessment, his salary for the past few days will be counted.

The other war pet owners had all obtained their war pet ID cards. Because of the special situation, Shanshan was first brought back by Su Qing for education, and he and Shanshan were asked to consider whether to join the job.

Back home, Su Qing put Shan Shan on the carpet, then poured half a bowl of cat food and half a bowl of dried fish for her, Shan Shan's eyes glistened.

Su Qing's arm was a little sore, sitting on the sofa while watching Shan Shan eat, while kneading the sore arm.

Shan Shan's body length has also grown a bit. She used to be chubby, but now she is oval. She looks thinner to the naked eye. In fact, she has gained a lot of weight compared to five days ago.

The cat food and dried fish in the bowl were half gone soon, Shanshan suddenly realized something, looked around, and called Su Qing suspiciously: "Meow?"

Su Qing raised his eyebrows, and waited for Shanshan to wave his paw fiercely and scream again before he asked with a broken smile, "Are you asking where Brother Jiang has gone?"

Shan Shan yelled ferociously, then lowered his head and continued to eat, but one eye carefully watched Su Qing.

"Did you forget? He's going on a mission." Su Qing coughed and smiled lightly, "He hasn't come back yet."

After finishing speaking, he couldn't help showing a trace of worry in his eyes. He agreed to go for three days, and it's already the 28th. He didn't know if he was delayed on the way or had an accident.

Shan Shan didn't know what he was thinking, knowing Qi Jiang's situation, he continued to eat seriously, and quickly finished the cat food in the basin, and finally swallowed the last few dried fish with a flick of his tongue.

Su Qing came over with a wet towel to wipe her hair and paws, and cleaned it after changing a plate of water. The clothes on his body were also stained before. After washing the towel, Su Qing went into the room and changed.

"Meow~" Shanshan leaned over and lay down at Su Qing's feet, resting his chin on the slippers.

This morning, the concrete floors in several rooms were hard. Su Qing took advantage of the convenience of space to sort out the supplies. The living room was also more spacious than before, so he laid out a carpet according to his own habits.

At this moment, Shanshan was lying on the carpet, and the whole cat was spread out into a piece of cake. I couldn't tell whether the blanket was softer or her fur was softer, but it was very soft to watch.

Su Qing knew that she wanted to hug, but he really didn't have the strength, so he could only hug Shanshan and put him next to him on the sofa, "I don't have the strength to hug you anymore."

He was already sick, afraid that the bugs would run to Shanshan, he carried her all the way back, and he didn't let go of climbing the stairs. At this moment, his strength was really exhausted.

"Meow~"

Su Qing smiled lightly, covered her lips and coughed a few times, and gently stroked Shanshan's back: "Shanshan, do you want to go to work?"

Shanshan looked up at him several times, then rubbed Su Qing's leg guiltyly: "Meow~"

"Think?"

"Meow~" Shanshan nodded.

Su Qing was a little helpless, and nodded the little cat's nose: "Then why were you disobedient during training?"

Shanshan felt even more guilty, turned his stomach and watched Su Qing screaming, his voice was very soft and cute, trying to pass the test with cuteness.

"You can't do this." Su Qing touched her belly, "If you really want to fight with other pets, you have to be obedient and train, obey the command, and cooperate with Shantu well. He is your partner , from now on, you will depend on your lives, so you can't bully him."

Shan Shan looked at Su Qing with round eyes, got up and carefully licked his fingers, then tilted his head: "Meow~"

"What are you talking about?" Su Qing couldn't understand.

Shanshan immediately stood on both feet, punched and kicked, Su Qing looked very happy, coughed and laughed, but still barely understood Shanshan's meaning: "You want to say, and you also want to stay by my side to let me Shall we go together?"

Shanshan's eyes widened suddenly, and Su Qing smiled lightly: "I can't go, but I promise you, I will try my best to find a stable job, and then I will find a way to see you more, okay?"

"Meow!" Shanshan jumped up suddenly, and jumped on the sofa several times, looking really happy.

After comforting Shanshan, Su Qing came back with some strength, took Shanshan to the balcony and looked out at the road, and stood there for more than ten minutes without seeing a car coming back.

Before Qi Jiang left, he was in a car, but he didn't see the car at any other time except for the delivery of supplies from the warehouse in the morning.

The pot on the balcony was covered with a lid, and Su Qing sealed the stove mouth with a brick.

In the past two days, he has been afraid that Qi Jiang will not be able to eat a hot meal when he goes home, and he is also afraid that he will reveal his secrets, so he will leave a meal for Qi Jiang and keep it warm with charcoal fire. If he can't wait for Qi Jiang, he will take care of it at the next meal , and leave new meals for Qi Jiang.

There was a piece of cloth hanging on the balcony of someone's house outside, blown to and fro by the wind, Su Qing sighed slightly: "The wind is blowing, let's go back."

Su Qing went to pick up Shanshan after eating. Although he ate early, his appetite has not been very good recently, so he is not afraid that he will wake up from hunger.

As the sky gradually darkened, Su Qing went back to wash, brushed Shanshan's hair and paws again, and then went to bed with the cat in his arms.

The sky was getting darker and the wind outside was getting stronger and stronger. Many families began to tell their children to add more clothes tomorrow, and went to bed quickly after eating.

The temperature fluctuated several degrees with the wind, Su Qing coughed lightly and tightened the quilt, sleeping deeper and deeper.

Click!

Suddenly there was a slight sound of opening the door, Shanshan sat up slowly, and rushed out like a small cannonball. In the night, he found that the figure of the person who came was very familiar, so he braked sharply to restrain his viciousness, and gave a perfunctory meow greet.

"Ahem." Looking in Shanshan's direction, his voice sounded a bit heavy, and he had no experience in fighting wits with her, "Shanshan, take me to the sofa to sit."

The faint smell of blood came, Shanshan widened his eyes, and meowed to take Qi Jiang to sit on the sofa. Hearing his inhalation, Shanshan was a little helpless, and turned back to the room to bite the meat on the bedside table. Candle.

Ping ping pong!

Su Qing coughed and sat up: "Shanshan, you..."

Halfway through the conversation, he suddenly realized another familiar breathing sound in the room: "Brother Jiang?"

Qi Jiang hummed softly, Su Qing didn't care about dizziness, quickly lit a candle and went out, when he approached the sofa, he smelled a bloody smell, and his heart skipped a beat: "Are you injured?"

"Small injury." Qi Jiang frowned tightly, and his voice was very calm.

Su Qing put down the candles, went to the balcony to rekindle the fire, then put the firewood in the basin and carried it into the living room, and took a few more candles to light it up, finally lighting up the room.

"Let me see."

Qi Jiang paused and changed the subject: "Is there any water? I'll wash my hands."

"Let me take a look first." Su Qing came over with the medicine box, and looked at the waist that smelled the most bloody, "Is the stomach or the waist injured?"

Qi Jiang was helpless, and carefully untied his clothes to reveal the gauze wrapped around his waist and abdomen: "I was scratched on the side of my waist, and the wound has been treated."

He didn't dare to say that they went out and sacrificed several people this time. He was considered lucky, at least he was able to come back whole.

The danger outside is greater than they imagined.

Su Qing didn't ask any further questions. He put on a mask and gloves, opened the medicine box, and unwrapped his blood-oozing gauze. A wound stretching over a dozen centimeters across his waist was exposed. Qi Jiang had stitched it up before he came back. He was poisoned, but because he walked up the stairs with his bag on his back, the wound was pulled and a little blood oozes.

Su Qing's eyes were a little hot, and he coughed a few times in discomfort. He disinfected him again, checked the color of the medicine near the wound, and picked out a bottle to apply medicine to him.

Su Qing became a doctor after a long illness, and Su Qing stayed in the hospital for a long time. He is familiar with the medicine. He recognized the medicine powder on it, so he found it and applied it to Qi Jiang, and then gave it a new gauze. He bandaged it.

Under the light of the flickering fire, Su Qing seemed a little silent, his eyes were full of distress, Qi Jiang felt distressed when he saw it, and reached out his hand to touch his face: "Don't worry, it will be fine soon."

"Are you hungry? I left some food for you." Su Qing raised her head, blinking away the water in her eyes.

"Hungry." Qi Jiang nodded, took Su Qing's hand again, and looked into his eyes seriously, "Wait a minute, I want to discuss something with you."

"What's the matter?" Su Qing felt a little nervous subconsciously.

Qi Jiang was silent for a moment, but under impulse, he didn't know how to organize his words.

There were many accidents during their mission this time. When he was injured, he was thinking that if he could come back, he must not delay any longer.

They were born in this era, accidents always happen suddenly, maybe he will be gone one day.

He originally wanted to boil the frog in warm water to be safer, but now he is even more afraid that one day he will die in an accident without even getting his wife.

Since Su Qing is interested in him, even if he misunderstood, Su Qing has a very close relationship with him now, why should he be so indecisive?

Qi Jiang opened his mouth, unable to speak, Su Qing said softly, "Huh?", "What do you want to discuss with me?"

I like you.

I love you.

These words lingered in Qi Jiang's heart, but he always felt that he was thin and not prudent enough. After thinking for a second, he looked into Su Qing's eyes again: "Can I talk about the summary of the previous situation first?"

Su Qing nodded nervously, Qi Jiang held Su Qing's hand slightly to strengthen himself, and his deep voice hit Su Qing's ears: "Do you remember when we first met?"

"Hospital..." Su Qing paused, "Elevator, you saved me and took me to the hospital."

Qi Jiang was not disappointed, he even guessed it, and smiled: "The first time I saw you was five years ago, when you were in your junior year, at the South Bridge Square in the city center. I came to Fengcheng on a business trip and drove past the square. , you were holding a bag, standing on the side of the road with a bookish look waiting for the traffic light, I remember you still glanced at me at that time, and I missed you because of that."

Su Qing was a little surprised, he used to go to South Bridge Square to buy pens and books, but he really didn't remember it.

"My method is actually not comfortable. I found someone to check your information, and bought a house here and Hongjiayuan, all to get close to you. I have made many encounters over the years, but every time you Forget about me. I moved to Fengcheng this time because I have saved your life, and I know that you have a good tolerance for me, so I want to use this to get close to you, to be your friend first, and then Take you down." Qi Jiang confessed tremblingly, holding Su Qing tighter, his voice was difficult and tense, "I'm sorry, everything I do is purposeful, not pure, if you are angry , just beat me and scold me, as long as you don’t drive me out, you can do anything.”

Su Qing was stunned by his words and didn't react at all, but when he heard the last sentence, he still couldn't help laughing: "This is your house."

Qi Jiang's eyes lit up, and he smiled a little: "Aren't you angry?"

Su Qing shook her head, feeling a little guilty: "I only know that you have no ill intentions towards me, and I acquiesce in your approaching with my own purpose. Everyone has their own selfishness, and I actually don't care about that."

Su Qing also has her own purpose?That's a good feeling!

Qi Jiang was short of breath, coughed a few times, and held Su Qing's hand trembling slightly: "Then what do you think of me? Do you think it's okay for us to live together and talk about someone?"

Su Qing was taken aback, he almost guessed it from the beginning of his confession, but he was still a little frightened at this moment. After thinking about it for 2 minutes, he still didn't understand his intentions. Although he didn't have any repulsion, he wanted to be more cautious.

"May I think about it?"

Qi Jiang swallowed, feeling his throat was dry like never before, he held Su Qing's hand tightly and looked at him: "Of course, I will wait for you."

Su Qing nodded and looked at the hand he was holding: "Then can you let go first? I'm a little uncomfortable."

Qi Jiang nodded, but couldn't let go: "Sorry, I'm a little scared."

"Afraid?" Su Qing was surprised.

Qi Jiang smiled wryly. In his life, he likes to act decisively at everything he sees, but when facing Su Qing, he takes every step carefully.

He confessed that he was not completely sure, so he was naturally afraid.
