Rise of Apocalyptic Talent: Volume 1 “The First Year of Disaster” Episode 58: Family or Food
For the two soldiers from the Kunlun base who have just joined Yushan Fortress, everything here is novel. Mutated creatures and humans live in harmony, and there is even a purifier-like Xun Lili among them. In the information obtained before, this situation can be said to be unheard of.
Although Wu Hongyu lost a leg, under the careful care of the survivors of Yushan Fortress, he finally saved his life, and the kind fortress survivors also found a wheelchair for him, and some people even planned I want to get him a prosthetic leg so he can stand up on his own in the future.
Time always passes quietly in a hurry, and in a blink of an eye, the high autumn air has become a thing of the past, with a slight chill, the white season is about to come. Today, Commander Zhang held a meeting for everyone at lunch time.
"Everyone can eat and listen." This is a must-have opening remark before every meeting. Whenever this happens, people in the fortress will always laugh, and even some naughty children will follow along. Read out this classic quote from Commander Zhang.
"Don't make a fuss, listen to me. It's the beginning of winter, and the weather is getting colder and colder every day. Inside our cave, it's fine, it's warm in winter and cool in summer. Outside the dark fort, people who are usually on guard can't freeze. We discussed, Let's go get some coal, how about we make a stove? By the way, if there are any households that are short of clothes and quilts, remember to tell me, and the search team will go out and fix it for you."
Although everyone calls Lao Zhang the commander, in fact, Lao Zhang is more like the head of the Yushan Fortress, or the big butler.
"Commander Zhang, this time the search team went out to search for supplies, can they go to Huan'an County?" Ye Rong suddenly stood up and asked loudly.
"Comrade Xiaoye, there is no coal yard near Huan'an. We plan to visit the coal mine in Liaojing. Are you going to Huan'an for anything?
In recent years, the state has made great efforts to change the ecological environment. Almost all the counties around City B have been converted to natural gas for heating, and the original coal yards have also been banned one after another. Therefore, the search team must go to a distance to obtain coal. The Liaojing Coal Mine, which is nearly 200 kilometers away from Mount Yu, is in two directions from Huan'an.
"I think, Hongyu's injury is basically stable now. There is a high-frequency particle signal booster in the airship. If it can be repaired, we can contact the Kunlun base here." Ye Rong continued.
It has been more than a month since she came here. It can be said that they have completely cut off contact with the base. Only she knows how desperately she wants to contact the organization. It's a pity that the mechanic was seriously injured and bedridden, and she couldn't repair the damaged particle signal booster herself. It was delayed until now.
The people in the base became interested as soon as they heard it. Despite the fact that the living conditions in Yushan Fortress are already very good, after all, they are all alone and alone.
Old Zhang asked excitedly, "Can it be repaired? I heard that the airship was seriously damaged."
"I don't know yet, I have to ask Hongyu about this." Hearing this, nearly a hundred pairs of eyes turned to Wu Hongyu, a mechanic in a wheelchair.
Looking at everyone's eager eyes, Wu Hongyu suddenly felt an inexplicable pressure, but he didn't dare to care so much, he could only say a little embarrassedly: "Everyone, don't look at me like that, can you fix it? I am just a mechanic. I cannot repair the core components of the particle signal booster. If they are damaged, they can only be replaced, but we don’t have any parts now, so we can make a decision after seeing the real thing.”
"Isn't there any hope that this can be repaired? I'll send someone to retrieve it right away. Ye Rong, you go with you. They haven't seen the booster, so don't make a mistake." That is to say, if there are dates and no dates, first make three poles, and if it is not repaired, it will be a waste of time. Anyway, the environmental safety risk factor has been reduced to the lowest level, and there should be no danger.
The next day, Yushan Fortress dispatched two search teams, one led by Nie Chong, including Xun Lili, who drove the chariot modified from the truck and a semi-trailer to the Liaojing Coal Mine . On the other hand, An Sheng took Ye Rong and the pig head three, and drove a semi-trailer to Huan'an to remove the high-frequency particle enhancer.
On the way, Ye Rong looked at An Sheng who was driving with interest. After a while, An Sheng felt a little uncomfortable.
"I said Comrade Xiao Ye, what are you always looking at me doing, do I have flowers on my face?" An Sheng is always not very fond of young women, and the women in the fortress area are all right He was salivating, so An Sheng would pay extra attention to staring at him and seeing a woman.
"You are very special." Ye Rong simply said four words, then continued to stare at An Sheng.
"What's so special about me?" An Sheng made Ye Rong a little confused.
Although they have been together for more than a month, An Sheng always felt that this female officer was a bit mysterious. Unlike Zhou Xiaoxiao, who has always been a nympho, and Xun Lili, a carefree man, Ye Rong looks valiant, but in her bones there is a kind of coldness that rejects people thousands of miles away. Therefore, when this woman suddenly changed her normal routine and started chatting with An Sheng, he was really uncomfortable for a while.
Ye Rong changed her sitting position, lying comfortably in the co-pilot's seat and explained, "You are a virus-infected mutant, but you can live in harmony with humans, and the big guy in the back is helping you too. Humanity. Since the cataclysm, this is an unprecedented case."
"Is it just because of this? I don't think it's anything. Those in Yushan are my family, and the pig's head in the back is my younger brother. It's normal." An Sheng said it for granted, but it was true. ?
Ye Rong sat up again and stared at An Sheng and asked, "Do you think this is normal? Then why did the lord take the initiative to attack us? For the new species of food, do you think you'll be friends with food?"
An Sheng suddenly stepped on the brakes, and the inertia made Ye Rong, who was caught off guard, almost hit the glass. She was a little angry and shouted at An Sheng: "What are you doing!?"
An Sheng didn't answer, but stared blankly at Ye Rong for a long time, until the hair on her body stood on end before she spoke slowly.
"I can hear the subtext in your words. Are you saying that I keep the people in Yushan Fortress as food? It's ridiculous! Although I am a mutant, I have never felt that I am not a human being. I have never eaten humans, let alone hurt any human beings! Well, even if I am no longer human, so what? Don't tell me that people who are not my race will have different hearts, special human beings keep animals all for the sake of Eat? Can't humans and other species have feelings?!"
The more An Sheng spoke, the more excited he became. In the end, he even broke out foul language. The unprovoked suspicion of this woman in front of him made his lungs almost burst with anger!
Not to mention, the furious An Sheng really startled Ye Rong. The people in the fortress always said that An Sheng was their benefactor. Although he usually didn't like women, he was easy-going and sincere. She is actually testing this alien race today, because his performance as a mutant is too unreasonable.
"What are you yelling at? I didn't say anything. These are all your guesses. That's not what I meant." Although Ye Rong meant it that way, she really didn't dare to admit it in the face of the furious An Sheng.
"Really? Did I misunderstand you?" An Sheng stared at Ye Rong's eyes, his eyes filled with anger that had not dissipated except for disbelief.
Although she was a little scared in her heart, Ye Rong was also a female officer who had undergone severe training, and her psychological quality was not bad. She raised her eyebrows and asked back in a loud voice, "Don't you misunderstand? I don't have anything. Say, it's you who's been talking all the time, you're still yelling at me, it's too much!"
An Sheng knew that the other party was arguing, but he still chose not to care. It was just the anger in his heart~IndoMTL.com~ that made him plan to ignore the female officer beside him, so An Sheng re-started the truck with a blank face and never said a word to Ye Rong again.
Li Guoan was killed by mutants, and he was the man Ye Rong loved deeply. In his heart, Ye Rong regarded all mutants as aliens and enemies. The funny thing is that she has to live in a cave with aliens every day. Subconsciously, she can't accept the fact that she has been holding back for so long.
The two had different hearts along the way, and they really didn't say a word. The silence continued until the end of the mission, when the so-called high-frequency particle signal booster was pulled back to the fortress.
"How about it, can it be repaired?"
Ye Rong anxiously asked Wu Hongyu who was checking the equipment. She was eager to contact the Kunlun base, especially after the unpleasant encounter with An Sheng today, this expectation was even more urgent.
"The exterior of the transmitter is seriously damaged, and the wiring is also burnt. Fortunately, the core components are not damaged. Although it is troublesome to repair, it can still be repaired." After careful inspection, Wu Hongyu came to this conclusion.
Ye Rong heard that she was so happy that she wanted to jump up, but she didn't show it too much. She just asked Wu Hongyu about the time of repair and then returned to her cave.
Wu Hongyu told her that it would take at least a month to repair the signal booster, mainly because of the lack of professional maintenance tools, otherwise the time could be more than doubled. After returning to her cave, Ye Rong sat down on the camp bed.
This woman looked at the flickering oil lamp and whispered to herself, "Guoan, I will definitely avenge you, I will kill all the mutants, and I will let all those monsters be buried with you! "
