Extraordinary members of the last days

Chapter 76

Early the next morning, after their temperature was taken several times, the two patients finally got approval to come out of the quilt, and the light-weight couple couldn't help but have a big hug that was earth-shattering!
As if they had come by pinch, Battalion Commander Wang brought Staff Officer Zhao and another person over as soon as the trio had finished breakfast. Upon closer inspection, it was the team leader who "checked the water meter" that day.

"Hehe, can we go in?" Battalion Commander Wang said with a smile, as if meeting old friends.

Ming Zhi hesitated, seeing that Mo Yi did not object, and let the door open.

The room is very warm, as if it is not the same season as the outside.A big fire in the center is crackling and burning happily, and there is a small iron pot on it, and boiling water is gurgling inside.What caught the visitors' attention the most was undoubtedly the strong smell of vinegar in the room. Battalion Commander Wang and Staff Officer Zhao exchanged glances and nodded.

Mo Yi looked around, but there was no place to sit, so he put down the closet by the wall and said enthusiastically, "Sit down."

The faces of Battalion Commander Wang and the others twitched, and they sat down obediently.

Originally, there were several sets of small stainless steel water cups in the dormitory, but the three-person team used their own all the time and did not touch these.Ming Zhi looked at the clothes that seemed to be a little flimsy, well, it's a thank you gift for shooting those people.She had taken three water cups in the past, filled them with some hot water, and handed them over.

Battalion Commander Wang and the others thanked them, and happily took them to warm their hands. It took a long time for the limbs to regain consciousness.

Battalion Commander Wang took a sip of water and said solemnly, "I'm a rough man, so I can speak straight."

The trio sat on the bed and looked at him directly, as if they were saying, just waiting for your words.

"Cough," Battalion Commander Wang moved his butt uncomfortably, and reached out to support Staff Officer Zhao who was almost squeezed by him, "We want to ask if the three of you can share some antidiarrheal medicine or something."

The eyes of the three of them narrowed, and they looked up and down three times at the visitor, but neither agreed nor refuted.

Seeing that the other party did not refuse, Battalion Commander Wang said again: "We know that everyone is very difficult at this time, but Professor Chen is ill, and more than 1000 people in the base are counting on him, so I beg everyone gone."

"Professor Chen?" Ming Zhi tilted his head, "What kind of Professor Chen?" If it's a professor of history and political science, then I'm sorry, you should say goodbye.

"Oh, look at my memory," Battalion Commander Wang recalled the goals of the three people again, and his tone seemed a little seductive, "This is a well-known agronomist here, and he is very good at animals and plants! A while ago The pigs and cows rescued from the base are all prepared by him. By the way, there are also those fast-cooking dishes, which he also led a few experienced farmers to cook."

Sure enough, after hearing what he said, the trio looked at each other with a little more interest.

"That Professor Chen, is it serious?" In this kind of bargaining, Ming Zhi usually comes forward.

Battalion Commander Wang sighed, half-truth: "It's serious, he's already in a coma. Well, if something happens to him, the base will almost come to an end. None of his men can hold on to the situation. After so many years Experience is not just passed on.”

After narrowing his eyes and looking at Battalion Commander Wang for a few moments, Ming Zhi said slowly, "I don't care how much of what you say is true or false. We do have medicine." She rushed ahead of Battalion Commander Wang to make a request , "But I have conditions."

"speak!"

"You must know our goal," Ming Zhi thought for a while, "When the time comes, we will give you a [-]% discount when killing pigs and cattle."

Staff Officer Zhao said in surprise: "Little girl, you are really a bit ruthless when you open your mouth."

Ming Zhi glanced at him coolly: "Then everyone just waits to die, anyway, we won't die if we don't eat meat." Mo Yi and Wen Ling in the back also looked indifferent, they should cross their legs, they should see The ceiling looks at the ceiling.

Officer Zhao choked for a moment.

Battalion Commander Wang frowned: "[-]% off." Really, what's wrong with the world, soldiers are reduced to bargaining with ordinary people.But there is no way, their soldiers, their combat personnel must also supplement protein.

"84% off," Ming Zhi refused, and added, "I can also give you a bottle of 500, [-]ml, concentrated."

"Deal!" Battalion Commander Wang responded in one gulp, and dispensed the disinfectant water, which really choked their lifeblood.

Ming Zhi nodded in satisfaction, stood up, and raised his eyebrows at the two obedient listeners behind him: "I'll go get the medicine."

After a while, she came out with a small bottle of antidiarrheal medicine and a small bucket of 84, and handed them over.

The captain who had been serving as a decoration hurriedly took it, and ran down to deliver the medicine without stopping.

Relieved, Battalion Commander Wang stood up, with a more sincere smile on his face: "Thank you."

Ming Zhi nodded lukewarmly: "It's nothing, it's just a deal."

Staff Officer Zhao saluted again: "We are sorry for what happened yesterday."

"Ah," Ming Zhi looked down at the three empty glasses, "you shot those people, that's enough."

A few days later, I don’t know if the long-term low temperature killed most of the viruses. The number of sick people gradually decreased, and the base took advantage of the heat to gather the remaining people and spray diluted disinfection on both sides every day. Liquid, finally restrained.

At this time, the original nearly 2000 people had dropped to just over 1000, and the number of people who died due to various reasons was close to 700!But cruelly speaking, this can't be said to be a "good thing". There are fewer people, compared with more abundant supplies and fewer conflicts. It seems that the remaining people can live better?Maybe
After the strong wind that day, the snow on the ground was blown a lot, and many places were already very thin, so the base took the time to go out, and the trio was slightly shocked by a small crane at the beginning.In this regard, Liu Li, who escaped from death later, explained enthusiastically: "It is said that there is a quite large supermarket in the town next door. The last time I went to see it, it was bombed and collapsed for various reasons, and the entire warehouse was buried. under."

When the team came back in the afternoon, they really brought back countless supplies. This is not the point. The most concerned thing is a baby!A living baby!
Those who went with me were all big and rough old men, and none of them knew how to hold a baby. They stared at the crying babies one by one, and finally Liu Li, who came out to count the supplies, saw them and hugged them to coax them. It took a while to stop crying.

The little soldier who was taken over breathed a sigh of relief and ran away as soon as he received an amnesty.The small crane outside ran out of gas before it reached the gate of the base, and dozens of people were pushing and pushing, desperately trying to get it in with manpower.

"What's the matter?" Liu Li kept shaking the child in her hand, and asked with some distress, seeing that the little face was turning purple from crying.

"This, this, oh, you can ask Staff Officer Zhao!" The little soldier who was asked scratched his head and hid aside.

Snow began to fall in the sky again, and the black land exposed from the ground gradually disappeared. The northwest wind roared, as if to show its power to the struggling human beings.

Entering the trading market, Staff Officer Zhao patted the snow on his shoulder, sighed, and said with emotion: "We found this child by digging up the warehouse below, alas."

"Don't just lament," Liu Li patted the child again, "This child who is so big can't survive by himself, it must have collapsed for more than 20 days."

Staff Officer Zhao nodded: "The child is dead, and I don't know how many days it has been since he died." He looked at the child who had calmed down with a complicated expression, and couldn't help reaching out his hand to touch it, "The leg was pinned down. , couldn’t move, and after eating a few packs of biscuits around them, they sat next to each other. It seemed that they had survived for several days just relying on the rain and snow leaking from the top, and finally, they couldn’t bear it any longer. When we went , this kid is sucking on the bitten finger of his mother." At this point, Staff Officer Zhao couldn't go on talking anymore, and the eyes of the hard-fought man were red.

Liu Li opened her mouth wide, tears streaming down at some point.This is a mother using her own flesh and blood to keep her child alive!
After a while, Officer Zhao said again: "We are worried about this, and there is no experienced woman."

"Let me come." Liu Li sniffed, "I helped my sister take care of children before, and I still have some experience. By the way, is there any milk powder?"

"Yes." Officer Zhao nodded quickly, "This time we brought back all the things we could move, not only milk powder, but also diapers." He added, "Then please, children are the hope. , Alas. By the way, the base will transfer the child support for you, so don’t worry about it.”

This is also the best way. The other women in the base are either inexperienced or untrustworthy. Liu Li has been here for a long time, and her performance has always been very good. Besides, she is a local, her relatives are gone, so she has no worries.

Hearing about the new arrivals at the base, the three-man team was the first to come over to look at the goods, and walked towards the trading floor by stepping on the crunching snow that had started to lose ankles again.

The base has gained a lot this time. In addition to the incidents that happened a while ago, Battalion Commander Wang discussed with the people below and decided to take out three bags of rice to make porridge for the masses, which is considered a little stable. I've lost my mind.

Excluding the original fighters and related staff in the base, the work points are not counted, and the people who have the conditions to live in the dormitory are not counted. The remaining non-combatants are less than 600 people, and they receive a big bowl of porridge It's still quite thick, so it's really quieter.

The three-person team walked along and saw several teams queuing up to get the porridge, extending from the position next to the trading floor.A few girls were busy helping to cook the porridge and scoop the porridge. The people in the team were full of joy, eagerly waiting for their number.There are still a few soldiers patrolling non-stop, in case someone jumps in the queue for the second time after claiming the claim.

The three-person team was dressed too brightly, and attracted a lot of attention along the way. Many of them recognized Ming Zhi as the girl who killed the killer that day, and immediately hid away, whispering to the people next to them from time to time.

Mingzhi is completely immune to this, and he doesn't even bother to lift his eyelids.You talk about yours, we eat ours, if you don't provoke me, I'm too lazy to do it.

"Chen Lin, go on!" Liu Li came out panting, carrying a small bag of rice with a burden on her back, so she couldn't see what was there.

"Hey!" Chen Lin had just divided the porridge into a pot, before she had time to wipe off her sweat, she quickly took it over, "Go in quickly, don't freeze the child."

"Okay, I know," Liu Li smiled, "I stuffed him with a lot of cloth strips, so he won't be frozen." While talking, the child started crying again, and she quickly went inside and hugged him.

"Little baby?" Ming Zhi looked in surprise at the crying baby, his eyes full of surprise.

"Ah, you are here." Liu Li quickly walked backstage, "What do you want?"

Mo Yi looked at Ming Zhi who was following the little baby, smiled and waved his hands: "No hurry, you don't need to go in, let's ask first."

"Oh, thank you." Liu Li nodded hurriedly, wandering around the hall again.The back is much more gloomy than here, and you can't move casually.

People generally have an inexplicable pity and affection for young creatures, probably because they have not been polluted by this complicated society.Ming Zhi was no exception, she had never been in close contact with a child since she was a child, she was full of curiosity, and she was looking at the little baby.

"Where did this come from?" Mo Yi asked casually.

Liu Li told the story of the child, and sighed again.

Ming Zhi's little face that was shining just now dimmed instantly, she looked at the child who was spitting bubbles at her, poked his face, and said sullenly: "You are so lucky."

"That's right, this child is very lucky, and he will starve to death a few days later." Liu Li agreed, and Ming Zhi didn't nod.

The little baby couldn't speak yet, and was babbling and grinning at Ming Zhi with a toothless mouth, its two dark eyes were watery.There was no trace of sadness on the immature face.Child, do you know that the mother who gave birth to you and raised you is no longer here? !
Mo Yi rubbed Ming Zhi's head, and then Wen Ling, until she messed up her hair, distracted her attention and had to tie her hair again.

Liu Li didn't know, but Mo Yi and Wen Ling knew that the luck that Ming Zhi was talking about was probably more than that simple.Lucky to be discovered in time, even more lucky to meet a mother who would rather give up her own life to protect him
"By the way, I didn't thank you that day." Liu Li thanked Ming Zhi again.

"Huh?" Ming Zhi blinked, unable to remember.

"It was the day of the riot." Liu Li smiled, "If you hadn't stopped us, everything in our house would have been robbed, and we might have been injured."

Ming Zhi shook his head: "It's just a coincidence, if you are on the fifth floor, I can't control you."

"Anyway, I want to thank you." Liu Li said seriously.Coincidentally, it's another matter. To be rescued is to be rescued. This is an unchangeable fact. Thank you for what you should be thankful for. "Ah, you're not hurt, are you?"

Ming Zhi raised his arm and shook his head: "It will be fine soon. I'm used to it."

After asking, there is nothing in the goods that the three-man team needs this time, that is, some common food and daily necessities.Later, Liu Li told them that the base had decided the date for the pig slaughter.

Liu Li said: "It will be tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. I will inform you first when the time comes."

"Then, where's the cow?!" Mo Yi still felt regretful if he couldn't eat beef.

Liu Li shook her head: "I don't know about that. I don't know what happened to the cow's legs. Pigs grow faster. That's for sure. As for the cow, I really don't know for sure."

"Then," Ming Zhi thought for a while, and said seriously, "If we can order nearly half a cow at once, won't we be able to advance many days?"

Liu Li's eyes lit up, and she was a little surprised: "If this is half a cow, even if it has lost a lot of fat recently, it will cost at least three hundred catties after removing the blood. It's 30 cents for a catty, and the total is needed."

"You don't need to worry about this," Ming Zhi interrupted her, "Can you?" We can get [-]% off, [-]% off!And the main thing is that it has been several months since the end of the world, and I don't know if I will meet a few live cows in the future, and even if I do, I still don't know how many catties of meat will be left.

Liu Li pondered for a while: "I can't decide, but there must be something. In this case, I will ask Staff Zhao for you right away. He is in charge of this."

Not long after, Staff Officer Zhao came in and asked, "Do you want half a cow?!"

The trio nodded.

It would be a lie to say that it is not shocking. The base has been gathering together for nearly half a month and has not produced [-] catties. It is ready to be sold at a low price, and now half of them popped out all of a sudden? !

Staff Officer Zhao remembered after thinking about it again, oh, the person in front of him, [-]% off!Alas, there is no way, who told them to take other people's medicine and disinfectant? !
"Okay!" Staff Officer Zhao stopped talking nonsense, and made a decision, "Then kill the pigs together! However, you must prepare the votes in advance."

"No problem!" The three-person team, who knew that there would be meat soon, replied with a particularly loud voice.

"By the way," Ming Zhi called to Staff Officer Zhao who turned to leave, "We also want some vegetable seeds, oh, and a rough planting method, preferably a book, if not, notes or handwritten ones are also fine. "

"I don't care about this." Staff Officer Zhao shook his head, "You have to go to Professor Chen. All the resources related to agriculture are with him."

Liu Li said again: "Okay, let Chen Lin take you there then! How convenient!"

"Chen Lin?" Ming Zhi felt that the name seemed familiar.

"Oh, is that my roommate, huh?" Liu Li pouted outside, "It's the one who is cooking porridge, ah, turn around, it's her, she is Professor Chen's granddaughter."

"Oh."

"However," Liu Li said again, "you'd better go there in a few days. Professor Chen hasn't recovered yet. He's still not feeling well these days. He's groggy, and he doesn't have much energy. Just looking after vegetables He can bear it enough, I'm afraid he doesn't have the energy to negotiate with you."
