Chapter 84
Of course, I didn’t buy mutton in the end. A Ci didn’t like the smell of mutton and refused Sanqian’s proposal.
Surprisingly, I found pepper seedlings at a humble stall at an inconspicuous stall around the corner of the street. The stall owner was still a thin little boy.
The stalls made of several newspapers are filled with plant seedlings. The plants are not big and they are carefully wrapped in newspapers into a ball. Judging from the size, there should be some soil to protect the roots, and the plants are not wilted.
In addition to the pepper seedling stalls that Sanqian liked, there are other seedlings and seeds, and the packaging of all sizes is pretty good. There are several types of them, but they don’t have them. After all, she has never collected them. Now she has just wrapped them in all kinds of them.
Liao Ping had a lot of things in his hand, and these seedlings directly took back the carton brought by the little boy and gave it to A Ci to hold it.
Liao Ping was about to check out, but the little boy blushed and couldn't speak, but he didn't answer the crystal core on Liao Ping's hand.
"I, I don't know how much it is. I want to change some food, and you have too many crystal cores."
Sanqian took the crystal core from Liao Ping's hand and picked out three attributeless ones. He also took out a few compressed biscuits and dried meat jerky from his small bag on his body and handed it to the little boy. The little boy bent over and thanked him excitedly. Sanqian watched him carefully put the crystal core into his arms.
Not stupid yet.
This corner is hidden but not without people. After buying Sanqian, the child directly closed the stall and could see that the child gained a lot. The little boy was blocked by her and no one saw what she gave. I guess the child would be cleverly holding the biscuits and jerky on the surface when she left.
Sanqian didn't hate this kind of small plot, and the end of the world was getting closer and closer to her familiar atmosphere.
Liao Ping drove Sanqian and A Ci back to the villa area, and the journey was quiet. Looking out the window, the sky was already golden. At about five o'clock, people outside came back one after another.
Sanqian saw several cars covered with blood, and passers-by were covered in blood, and many were seriously injured due to broken arms and legs.
The warm sunshine shines on the bloody city, which is the most shocking beauty in the apocalypse.
...
Liao Ping drove back to the military district, and the soldiers guarding the gate saw the license plate clearly from afar and opened the gate.
Gu Nan was recently in charge of some affairs of the military district training camp. He worked overtime every day to sort out the backlog. Gu Shi came to take a walk around and brought a wave of Gu Nan's hatred. When he went out, he happened to see Liao Ping coming to report.
"Big and big...sister, hello instructor Gu."
Liao Ping paused to see Gu Shi's eyes and changed his name, nodded and then rang Gu Nan's office.
Gu Shi had never seen Sanqian. He just broke through yesterday and suddenly heard that his baby A Ci brought her a sister-in-law back. When he came to Gu Nan, he also asked about the news.
I really want to come to see it!
No, what should I do if I scare people away?
Gu Shi rubbed her head, rolled up her sleeves because of the heat of the military uniform, and her handsome facial features looked heroic because of the wheat-colored skin.
Gu Shi was even more irritable when she thought of her mother’s appearance.
Woman, why is it so troublesome!
Gu Shi, who planned to see Sanqian again for the next family dinner, didn't know that Liao Ping, who had just said hello, had sent Sanqian back, otherwise he would have been yelling, which would have been a pity.
Gu Shi was still wandering in the administrative building and was found by her soldiers.
"Instructor Gu, something happened!"
"What?"
Gu Shi raised his eyebrows and followed the person to the camp gate. There were already three blood-covered people waiting. The ambulance had just left, and it should have transported the blood stained by the injured.
"Dacheng, what's wrong?"
The tallest man among the three turned around, and Dacheng, who had always been determined and mature, cried like a child at this time.
"Xingzi, he...he saves me, he's going to die. He's a fourth-level mutant beast. It must be yes, otherwise... won't."
Dacheng's statements are intermittent, but it does not prevent Gu Shi from restoring the truth.
Fourth-level mutant beast.
Gu Shi frowned, this was not easy to deal with!
"Walk."
No matter what, let’s take a look at the casualties first. Gu Shi calculated the increased casualties in the past few days, and recalled that the injured places were very similar. Zombies and mutant beasts were also getting higher and higher levels. Many injured people could see the shadows of mutant plants.
Is this a sign of something?
Gu Shi decided to discuss with Gu Tong after seeing the wounded. Gu Tong often had the task of collecting supplies and should have a better understanding of the situation outside.
In the office, Gu Nan and Liao Ping also talked about the situation where there were many injured people with superpowers.
"After sending Miss Sanqian back to the villa, I encountered people from the Ice Squad and the Athletic League Squad that was causing trouble last time on the way. The casualties were unexpectedly tragic and they were likely to encounter high-level mutant beasts or mutant plants. I didn't go forward to ask, this was just a visual analysis. Moreover, on the way back, there were more than three or four workers cleaning the road."
"Okay, I understand. Where is Gu Tongren? He will ask him to come over when he comes back."
"good."
This is not the first time the mission team has been injured. Apart from the teams related to the military headquarters and the Xue family in the government command hall, most of the injured are teams composed of the masses and scattered psychics themselves. The scattered teams are poorly equipped, lack medical personnel, and have uneven strength levels. Once an accident occurs, it is common for the entire team to be wiped out. However, such a result is abnormal in the military team.
It was so hot that yesterday the patrol guards reported that they were suspected of seeing the black shadows swaying outside the city wall at night and had not figured it out yet. Now there are problems with zombies and mutant beasts.
Gu Nan slapped the pen in his hand on the table with a palm, pondered for a while and then dialed the phone.
"In ten minutes, the meeting on the second floor meeting hall will be held, and everything you have in your hands will be put down."
Turning his head, Gu Nan also called home and told him that he might not go back for dinner tonight, and even Gu Tonghe and Gu Shi could not go back.
The person who answered the phone was Xiao Ru. After hanging up the phone and complained a little, the child hadn't been home for several days. Mr. Gu was coming down from the upstairs and asked a few questions. After hearing Xiao Ru convey Gu Nan's words, the old man glanced at Xiao Ru.
"There are nothing at home these days. The child is not at home. If you are idle, you can go home to see your sister. Didn't you say last time that you want to bring some tea for your father? Let's take some of it this time!"
Xiao Ru was a little stunned. It was usually nothing to go back to her parents' home, but just after saying something else, the old man's intention of asking her to go home was different. Xiao Ru immediately responded, but was thinking about the old man's meaning in her heart. Her surname was Xiao, and her father Xiao Yan is a relative of the current head of the Xiao family, not far away or near. The old man named her father to send tea to her father, and Xiao Ru immediately thought of the new position her father recently applied for.
The Xiao family is famous for studying technology, but his father is not good at this, because he is old and weak, just relying on his family to build a related job at the institute, managing monitoring equipment. The institute's monitoring covers several city gates, and the openly all reported to the Government Supervision Department. In fact, there are quite a few surveillance arranged by the Xiao family in secret.
So, Xiao Ru was puzzled, what did the old man want to see through his father?
