Ancient Gene [End Times]

Qiu Ling said this, and Qi Ya said it at this time.It can be seen that the attitude towards Xiaosun in the clan is not bad.

At this time, Qin An suddenly remembered: "That's right! My car is still at the entrance of that cave."

Qi Xi said: "Don't worry about this, someone has already been arranged to pick it up."

Uncle Changnan listened to them chatting for a long while, and said with a smile: "It's too late, and the journey has been exhausting, everyone should rest first. If you have anything to say, let's talk tomorrow."

If it's chatting, there will be topics for chatting until dawn.It was already the middle of the night, everyone was feeling very tired and needed a good rest.

Qiu Ling stood up first and said: "The place where I live is still vacant, I'd better go back and live."

The others also got up.

Qi Ya was smoking a cigarette, thinking about something in her head.

Qiu Ling, Qi Xi and Uncle Chang Nan left, and when Qi Xi walked to the door, he turned his head and nodded to his fourth sister.

Qi Ya breathed out a puff of smoke, covering a pair of eyes, making it difficult for people to see clearly what was in the depths of the eyes.

"It's getting late, let's rest first. The third floor has the best scenery and environment, but there are only three vacant rooms left. There are plenty of vacant rooms on the second and first floors, so you can pick whatever you want." Qi Ya pointed Pointing to the position on the right, "there is the kitchen, which is quite complete. If you are hungry, you can pick it up at any time. You are welcome. There are fewer people in the clan now, and there are fewer people who take care of them. Many things have to be brought by yourself."

"Were there many people before?" Qin An asked.

"Let's see how to say it, let's take this villa as an example. Xiaojun is taking care of me, usually just in charge of my daily life. But there will be at least three or four people cleaning and tidying up the yard here. As you can see now , only the two of us are left." Qi Ya said, "But having said that, our family has lived in peace for too long. Such busyness is inevitable."

Qi Ya turned to go upstairs, thought for a while and said, "How long have you known Xiaoling?"

"We've known each other since the beginning of animal mutation." Qin An said truthfully, "At that time, she pretended to be a female student studying abroad who had nowhere to live. She deceived us all."

"So we've been together for a long time." Qi Ya rolled her eyes and asked again, "What's her attitude towards you?"

This is not a good answer.To put it seriously, it's like talking bad things behind people's backs.But to put it lightly, Qiu Ling is not that kind of person.

"She...she's a nice person. Although she usually has a weird temper, she's reliable at critical times. She's our teammate." Qin An said.

Qi Ya blinked, paused for a few seconds before saying, "No wonder."

"what?"

"It's okay, since you are here, there is nothing else to do. There may be a lot of things happening in the past two days. You should be mentally prepared." Qi Ya turned and went up the stairs, "What should come will come. "

The six of Qin An looked at each other in blank dismay, none of them quite understanding what Qi Ya meant.

It's no wonder that Qin An and the others complained, this family is quite mysterious inside and out.

Dou Xiaojun said with a smile: "It's late at night now, let's rest first. The family is busy with affairs, even though you are guests, you will inevitably be affected by the affairs of the family. Let's go upstairs and have a rest first."

I said that the conditions on the third floor are the best. Although there are only three rooms, it is possible for six people to live in three.

Qin An and He Siming were tired of being together.The boss is not happy about the separation.Ke Chenguang and Bao Xinyu are used to living together, and they don't plan to separate now.

Tiangui and Xiao Hai need to discuss it.If everyone is on the same floor, it is convenient to move around.The two on the left and right didn't pay much attention to personal space for the time being, and they will rest together tonight.If something is inconvenient, you can go back and move to the second floor alone, it's not too far away.

Dou Xiaojun led them upstairs, and then went back to his room, without giving any detailed introductions, it was up to them to figure it out by themselves.

In fact, no one needs to be introduced, the preparations here are complete, and the position of the used things is quite conspicuous. The six people are not blind, so there is no need to embarrass the little girl in the middle of the night.

Although the ghost knows how many decades this "little girl" is.

Each room is equipped with a bathroom, and the bathroom is inside the bathroom.

Qin An and He Siming entered the room, first changed the dirty clothes, threw them into the washing machine and washed them, took a shower and finished washing, lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

They also said a few words before going to bed, but they were too sleepy. After waking up, they themselves forgot what they said before going to bed.

The two of them slept from three o'clock in the morning until eleven o'clock, and it was Qin An who woke up hungry first.

When he woke up, he opened his eyes and looked at the unfamiliar ceiling, Qin An was not surprised at all.

After the end of the world, when most people open their eyes, what they see is a different environment.

He had forgotten what the ceiling of his own house looked like.

Protesting with his stomach rumbling, Qin An saw that He Siming next to him was still soundly asleep, and got up to look at the laundry he had done yesterday.The clothes are still in the washing machine, but the washing machine has a drying function, so taking them out at this time is drying the clothes.If you don't mind that the clothes are a little wrinkled.

After Qin An put on his clothes, he smelled the scent of laundry detergent all over his body.Finally got rid of the sourness of the stinky sweat.

Going downstairs to the first floor, there are two people sitting on the dining table next to the kitchen, they are Tian Gui and Xiao Hai.The two of them were eating well with buns in their hands.

"Are you awake?" Tian Gui raised his head to see Qin An and smiled.

"Wake up hungry."

Xiao Hai pointed to the kitchen: "There are a lot of food in the refrigerator, and there are ready-made ones, just put them in the microwave and 'ding' them."

Obviously, that's how the buns in their hands came from.

"Are the buns delicious?" Qin An hasn't eaten this for some days.

"It's quite fresh, and it's more delicious than the ones you usually buy." Xiao Hai showed him the stuffing.

Qin An walked into the kitchen: "Did Chen Guang not wake up?"

It's normal for Bao Xinyu to stay up late, but it's rare to see Ke Chenguang getting up late.

"He drove all day yesterday, so it's normal that he can't open his eyes at this time." Tian Gui ate the last bun in his hand, "Let's go out and have a look together later. I didn't look carefully last night."

"I'm quite curious." Qin An opened the refrigerator and saw that there were fried eggs, milk, and some fruits and vegetables in it, and asked in confusion, "Where are the buns?"

"The right side is frozen." Tiangui said.

The refrigerator is a double door, the left side is for keeping fresh, and the right side is for freezing.

Qin An picked out four steamed buns from the freezer and put them in the microwave, then took out the milk from the refrigerator, opened the cupboard and found the milk pot, and heated two cups of milk.

When everything was ready, he went upstairs with the buns and milk and waited for He Siming to wake up to eat together.

In fact, He Siming woke up as soon as Qin An went downstairs.Usually after dawn, He Siming began to have trouble sleeping.But every time I want to wake up, touch the familiar temperature next to me, and I can go back to sleep with peace of mind.But with the temperature around him gone, He Siming couldn't sleep anymore.

Qin An opened the door and came in. He Siming brushed his teeth and stuck his head out of the bathroom.

"Wake up, come over for breakfast." Qin An said with a smile.

"I got up so early today." He Siming said vaguely.

"Woke up from hunger." Qin An said, "I was too sleepy last night and forgot to eat."

After He Siming finished washing, the two sat together and ate steamed buns. Qin An said, "Let's take a look around later. I don't know where Qiu Ling and Qi Yu live."

"I think Qiuling doesn't plan to see us now," He Siming said.

"Would it be possible?" Qin An paused while eating, "No way."

"It can be seen that she really does not welcome us." He Siming said, "Looking at Qi Ya's performance yesterday, there are many things involved."

"They obviously don't intend to talk about it." Qin An said, "But it doesn't seem too good for us to find it ourselves."

"It depends on the situation. No matter what kind of secret it is, there will always be a time to reveal it. According to what they say, it will only be a day or two."

"Let's go with the flow." Qin An said, "Although we are invited here, we can't cause trouble for the master. But they said that we can walk around, so it's good if we have nothing to do."

He Siming reached out and wiped off a little vegetable leaf from the corner of Qin An's lips, and said, "It's all up to you."

After the two finished their meal and then went downstairs, Tian Gui and Xiao Hai had no idea where they were going.The two went out together and saw that there were villas all around. Although they were not the same in appearance, they had various styles.

I don't know if I can get it back.

Qin An looked back at the villa where he stayed overnight, took out a rubber band in his pocket that he used when his hair grew long, and tied it to the outside gate.This is also easy to recognize the door, and then the two of them walked around aimlessly.

The night view I saw last night was shocking enough, and now I walk around again, and I feel what is called a modern version of Xanadu.Surrounded by mountains, it looks like a sunken huge platform.Surrounded by lush greenery, the scenery is very beautiful.However, because of the surrounding high mountains, the lighting is not very good, that is, at noon, the sun can only be seen for a few hours.

Looking from a distance to the east, it should be a fruit tree.Because it is spring now, there is a sea of ​​pink and white flowers over there.The west side is relatively open. Standing on a high place, you can see someone doing confrontation exercises over there.There is a huge metal gate on the south side, and the roars of mutant animals can be heard occasionally inside. It should be a place to raise livestock or mounts. On the north side, there is an open space with a palace-like building facing south.

It looked twice as big as the other villas, and it was surrounded by a well-kept open space, which was very obvious.

After discussing with each other, Qin and An walked in that direction.

As soon as I walked out of the entrance, I saw a little boy running out chasing a football.

The football just rolled to Qin An's feet, Qin An lowered his head to pick it up and handed it over.

The football just rolled to Qin An's feet, Qin An lowered his head to pick it up and handed it over.

The little boy looked up, tilted his head and glanced at Qin An, frowned, straightened his back, and asked, "Are you people who came in from outside?"

Seeing that the child is only seven or eight years old, it is a bit funny to look at such a serious look.

Qin An knelt down and said, "We came here last night. We're not familiar with it yet, so we walked around."

"Oh, then don't go in here. Without my seventh uncle's permission, you can't go in and out easily." The child's voice was still immature, but the words he said were quite mature.

Qin An couldn't help asking: "Can I ask how old are you?"

The child touched the ball in his hand and said: "Using the time calculation that you can understand, I am 22 years old."

Qin An and He Siming looked at each other.Sure enough, there is no normal age here.

"You guys go to other places for a walk. You can go to the animal training ground in the south. There are a lot of mutated animals there, and they are all bred. You go there and chat with Grandpa Xiang Hai, maybe he will send you off One, or go to the woods in the east, where you can always find fruit to eat." The child said.

Qin An looked at the football in his hand and said with a smile, "Is there no one to play with you?"

"Others are either too young to know, or they are too old to have their own things to do."

"It's boring to play ball alone, why don't you go with us. Let's play cards together later."

The boy thought about it and looked at the football in his hand. It was really boring to play alone.

"Do you have time?"

"We were brought here by Qi Xi. He still has things to do. We should be free during this period of time. We said yesterday that we can move around freely. We are not familiar with the situation here, and we are afraid that we should not go there. The place to go, so I will trouble you to lead the way." Qin An laughed.

"That's fine. You agreed to play with me." The boy threw up the football and kicked it twice, then held it in his hands.

After that, there were more small members in the small team of the two.In fact, the age gap between the three people is really not that big, but the appearance of the little boy is quite different from the normal growth rate.

"By the way, my name is Qin An, what's your name?" Qin An asked the boy's name.

"Zhang Yang." The boy said, "You should know our patriarch, he is my seventh uncle. My father is his elder brother."

"Your surname is Zhang..." Qin An didn't remember until here. Qiu Ling told him before that everyone here has the surname Juqiuri, but the surnames outside are usually the surnames of parents and partners in the clan.The boy obviously took the surname of the foreign mother.

"I forgot, each of you has two surnames." Qin An led Zhang Yang away, and couldn't help asking, "By the way, if you get married within your clan, how do you count your surname?"

"Look at the talent, the one with the lower talent." Zhang Yang threw the football while talking, and hit his head twice, "My mother's talent is not as high as my father's. That's why I have my mother's surname. My father's father , that is, my grandpa’s talent is not as high as my grandma’s, so my father’s and my grandma’s last names.”

On the outside, it is generally followed by a man's surname, and only a very few cases are followed by a woman's surname. In essence, it is followed by the stronger surname of the husband and wife.Here it is quite the opposite.

In fact, if you think about it from another angle, there is no difference.It's just that the gender is downplayed here, and it's simply determined by the innate talent.Every child born in the clan has the surname Juqiuri, that is to say, the strong person will leave the surname "Juqiuri" to the child, and the less talented person will give his surname to the outside world. Leave it to the children.It is quite fair for both husband and wife to provide one.

"Is everyone in your clan going out?" Qin An asked.

"It depends on the individual's decision. In most cases, members of the clan will not interfere with the individual's decision. As long as they are old enough and pass the assessment, no one cares about where they go. Unless..." Zhang Yang sighed and threw two Play the football, and take the football back.

"Unless what?" Qin An asked.

"They disagree with certain things. I just want to play football and join the national team when I grow up. I don't believe anyone can beat me. But they all say it's unrealistic."

"..." There seems to be nothing wrong.

But is the national football team really so desperate that even such a family has given up?

"You are very good at football." Qin An saw him playing football, even if he was not an expert, he could tell that he was doing well.

"But now that the disaster has come, it will be difficult to play in the future." Zhang Yang said with dim eyes, "Besides, if this disaster has not passed when I grow up, I will go out and find a way to change this situation." situation. Just like the rest of the tribe. It’s what we’re here for.”

Such words, coming from such a child-like person, feel sad no matter how you hear them.

"Did someone tell you this since you were a child?" Although he was 22 years old, looking at his appearance, Qin An couldn't help but think of him as a child of seven or eight years old.

"It's been passed down from generation to generation in our blood." Zhang Yang looked up at Qin An and said, "You won't know. To us, it's like eating and drinking. It's natural and indispensable. .”

Qiu Ling and Qi Xiu both said similar things.The more he listened, the more Qin An felt that this was a stone that made it hard to breathe.

It is hard to imagine that their entire family has endured such a stone for an unknown number of years, maybe thousands of years, or even longer.

Stopping and walking along the way, we arrived in front of the big metal gate in the south, which was five or six meters high.Even if it looks hollow, it has a lot of weight.

Qin An reached out and knocked, it was solid.

"There are mutated animals that are not crazy, you should like them." Zhang Yang walked to the left, where there is a button.Zhang Yang entered the password, and the two doors opened on both sides. Qin An looked down and saw the rails for pulleys on the ground.I don't know what kind of material the wheels can bear such a metal door.

"The track below here can sink. If something happens and the pulley sinks, this door cannot be knocked open." Zhang Yang walked in first, and as soon as he entered, he heard mutant animals one after another cry.

Qin An looked inside and was startled.It's huge inside, almost half the size of a football field.And it's not one floor, there is a spiral staircase in the middle, Qin An only saw it when he got closer, there are no less than five or six floors below.By mutating the ears, you can hear many mutated animals below, of all kinds.

On the edge, there are spaces divided by iron railings, in which various mutated animals live.

These mutated animals are all rational.

How spectacular this is, as if entering the kingdom of giants, and here is the giant's pet paradise.

He Siming looked at the mutated animals around him.Frowning slightly, he said, "Do you have many people who can manipulate animals?"

Zhang Yang raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "You guys understand it pretty well."

"We have a friend who has this ability." Qin An said.

Zhang Yang thought for a while, then said seriously, "Are you talking about Sun Quan?"

The two looked at each other, they didn't expect Sun Quan to be so famous here, everyone knew him.

"You know her?" Qin An said.

"I don't know." Zhang Yang said, "I was not born when she left."

... It seems that Sun Quan's age is also a mystery.

"then you……"

Before Qin An finished speaking, Zhang Yang said: "In the past hundred years, there have been two people who ran out, and the other one is dead, and she is the only one. There are no secrets in the clan, and this kind of thing spreads quickly. According to the fourth aunt, Ling I met you outside."

It seems that there is really no secret. What was said last night is known this morning.

Zhang Yang walked a few steps inside, and looked at the mutant animals around him along the way: "The mutant animals that can be placed on the first floor are all well-behaved and able to participate in combat freely. The lower ones, the lower they are, the wilder they are." Yes. Although 100% loyalty can be guaranteed, it is still very troublesome to command. So before they are well trained, they are rarely sent to battle."

As soon as Zhang Yang finished speaking, he heard footsteps.The three turned their gazes, and a few people came out of the passage on the far right.

Two of them are acquaintances, they are Tian Gui and Xiao Hai.

"Heavenly ghost?" Qin An quickly took two steps forward.

"Xiao Qin, Siming. It's just right, we plan to go hunting with the hunting team, come together?"

It just so happens that the two of them can't stay idle, so it's good to go out for a walk.

"Xiao Yang is here too, did you bring them here?" The older man next to Tiangui smiled when he saw Zhang Yang.

"They promised me that I'll show them around and play cards with me. It's just boring for me to be on vacation these two days, and you are all busy, so I can only find someone to accompany me." Zhang Yang walked over a few steps and looked around Tiangui and Xiao Hai, "Are you also my Seventh Uncle's guests?"

Tiangui stretched out his hand to him: "Hello, my name is He Yang Tianzhi, just call me Tiangui."

Zhang Yang stretched out his hand and shook hands with him: "Zhang Yang. Heavenly ghost? Tian Zhiming ghost?"

Tiangui nodded: "That's exactly what it means."

It seems that this little kid has a lot of reading.Of course, Tiangui understands that this child may be older than himself.

"Don't you want to visit other places?" Qin An said.

"Don't worry about it. I want to see how the mutated animals fight here." Tian Gui smiled and said, "You don't want to see whether they are stronger or our white tiger and rolling?"

Qin An immediately pulled He Siming into the group: "Take us."

Zhang Yang looked at a few of them: "I won't go, but don't forget that you agreed to play cards with me. I'm in the house closest to the main building in the north. No outsider has been here for decades. , I also want to hear what it's like outside."

"Okay, it's a deal." Qin An reached out to hook him up, but Zhang Yang rolled his eyes in exchange.

"When I was a child of seven or eight years old?" Zhang Yang said.

But you look like seven or eight years old.

Qin An smiled helplessly: "We'll look for you when we get back."
