Fast Forward To three thousand and seventy seven

Xu Jiucheng became an idle man.

It's "leisure", not "Fairy". Even if Xu Jiu is really staying up late to catch up with the play recently

There are many reasons for this.

The investigation of the parasitic animal incident by the Foreign Affairs Bureau has fallen into a bottleneck. Even if it guesses some of the intentions of the behind the scenes, it is still difficult to find the key clues to solve the problem.

The agent training work was temporarily put on hold because of the chaos in the wasteland. For example, the previous film crew did not dare to enter the wasteland after receiving the news, which made Xu Jiu lose the opportunity to make fast money.

Xu Jiu, who will go to the unexamined special area ruins soon, is not interested in performing tasks in other special areas at this time.

What's more, Goliath's process of making weapons is extremely cumbersome. From time to time, she needs to exchange views with Xu Jiu and obtain some of his body data, so as to customize this weapon that will be her signature in the future.

In order to ensure the smooth forging of weapons, Xu Jiu can only temporarily act as her mannequin, cooperating with the various data in the newspaper that he doesn't know what to use.

In any case, Xu Jiu hardly left his house in the next few days after the black claw wolf attack.

As a result, Vanessa was unexpectedly found and forcibly recruited to conduct routine patrols around Yu Sui town.

Because the weather was pretty good, Xu Jiu didn't refuse, but happily pushed the motorcycle. It's not a matter to be bored at home.

However, the patrol mission, which was meant to relax, was soon destroyed by the body of an elk half buried in the snow.

The soles of the boots rolled over the snow and creaked. Xu Jiu walked half a circle around the body.

The neck of the corpse has rotted and broken into a flesh and blood cavity, and some mutated flesh and skin remain on the edge. Xu Jiu's eyes scanned the surrounding snow and found no trace of other creatures. It should have been buried by the light snow two days ago.

If he remembers correctly, this is the fifth parasitic animal that has mutated only part of the trunk in the past three days, and from the wound, nine out of ten of the eggs have hatched.

"Where is the source... How was the deer parasitized?"

He murmured in a low voice, brushed his left hand, and the flame soared from the body. Xu Jiu returned to the side of the motorcycle, told Vanessa in Yu Sui town about the situation here, and then set off to return.

When Xu Jiu comes to the gate of Yu Sui town government again.

There is a large group of people around here, most of whom are half-aged children. In addition, there are some old people.

Naturally, what attracts these people is not a disaster, but the dress up of the new year's day being carried out by the government. It is undoubtedly a novel thing for the residents of yusui town who have never participated in the new year's day, not to mention the government's announcement one day in advance that it will start a holiday this afternoon and send some meat to each family.

For many people here, meat can be eaten only two or three times a year.

Looking for a quiet place to stop the motorcycle, Xu Jiu watched a group of children have fun everywhere, and the old people on the side couldn't stop calling.

It's almost the same as the new year in previous lives

Xu Jiu, who stopped on the other side of the street, was stunned at the scene ahead. After a while, he hung his head and let out a white fog, and then stepped over the crowd.

In the open space in front of the door, there is an evergreen shrub covered with red cotton wool. I don't know where it was dug. Around it, there are some firecracker dregs mixed with broken snow.

Not far away, two people worked together to carry several boxes of fireworks. On the truck next to them, there was a whole fan of pork and other ingredients. Obviously, they had purchased it again recently, otherwise there would be no such quantity.

Xu Jiu walked in with both hands for a few steps, and there was a smell. The people he met, whether the staff within the government or the people from the different transfer Bureau, had a smile on their faces. The dignified atmosphere of the previous two days was swept away.

Yes, today is new year's day.

Vanessa finished her previous idea beyond the specification, bought a lot of things out of her own pocket, and invited other staff within the government. After all, they also suffered a lot of pressure during this period of time.

Of course, the situation is not as relaxed as the atmosphere shown by the yusui town government.

"It's best not to set off fireworks. The light and sound will attract the attention of some wild beasts in the dark. Don't forget that our purpose is to ease the current tension, not to create more trouble."

Just after walking to the door of the office, Xu Jiu heard Vanessa's voice inside,

"In addition, while the dinner is going on, several sentry towers in the town must be guarded... Draw lots. The safety of the town, including me, needs to be guaranteed."

"Even if you go, you can't hold it. If there is a herd attack, it will still be trouble in the end."

Pushing the door in, Xu Jiu looked at the two people at the desk and then said,

"I'll go. Anyway, there's nothing to do tonight. I'm just trying to blow the wind."

"You?"

Vanessa obviously didn't expect Xu Jiu to make a sudden statement, get up from her seat and signal her subordinates to leave the room first.

"Why, do you think I can't hold it?"

Xu Jiu, sitting on the sofa, looked out of the window at the crowd and answered.

"If you can't keep it, I'm afraid others in the town can keep it when you're more than ten years old, but... Forget it, it's best if you like."

Vanessa, who wanted to say something, noticed something wrong with Xu Jiu's mood and simply changed the topic,

"Just now, a message was sent from Wushan gathering point. The insect eggs in the black clawed wolf we submitted in the past have hatched!"

"What do you say?"

"The adults after egg hatching are very different from the parasites that cause biological variation. This is the picture they sent back."

Pass the mobile phone to Xu Jiu and Vanessa takes a seat opposite him.

The screen shows a close range photograph of insect, which is different from any insect in Xu *'s impression, to a certain extent close to the butterfly that has unloaded its wings, and its head has no compound eyes, instead of a mass of creeping nausea.

Not only that, Xu Jiu also found several gray brown thin wings on its back.

"Gee, I can fly. No wonder it spreads so fast... They have done it. Don't you have any countermeasures? Wait?"

There is no need to say more about the reproductive ability of this kind of flying insects. In Xu Jiu's view, if they continue to spread, sooner or later the people living in the wasteland will be affected.

"We have already started to take action, * the life cycle of this insect is very short, from hatching to death only a few hours, as long as we ensure that there are no parasitic animals around the mobile city, we can effectively avoid threats."

The laboratory in Wushan gathering point is undoubtedly more professional than Yu Cheng town. * in a very short time, it has made clear some features of these insects, and has also won time for the processing of the Bureau.

Dong Dong Dong~

Vanessa was about to go on when there was a knock at the door.

"Captain, the Bureau has just sent a batch of goods, which you need to receive. The mayor also wants to see you..."

"It seems that you are very busy. After all, it's new year's day. I won't disturb you. I'll go home to make up my sleep and take over the guard tower in the evening."

Looking at the appearance of the player who wanted to talk and stop, Xu Jiu knew he should go.

This is obviously not the time to chat.

Vanessa didn't mean to stop Xu Jiu. She knew that the latter was not interested in getting involved in these chores. She just looked at the other party's back and felt inexplicably depressed.

......

In the evening, Xu Jiu went straight to the sentry tower in the middle of Yu Sui town with a boiler and more than a dozen boxes of ingredients.

The sentry tower in such a small town is very simple. In order to ensure the view, there is not even a cover on the top except a high-power searchlight. There is only a canopy that can be built and used at any time.

However, this also makes the space originally only about 13 square meters look spacious. In addition, today's weather is good, although the night wind is cool, it is naturally nothing for Xu Jiu today.

Use the tools and firewood left by the night watchman to make a bonfire, and put on the shelf a boiler full of bone and meat soup.

Lift your feet and kick several boxes of fireworks to the edge. Since the person guarding the post has become Xu Jiu, there is naturally no saying that the fireworks can not be released.

Xu Jiu sat cross legged at the edge of the sentry tower, holding a can of honey in his hand. He let the cold night wind blow his clothes and half a long black hair. He looked at the sunset on the horizon, and his sight revolved around the surrounding streets.

The sudden holidays and the government's supply of meat undoubtedly greatly improved the people's enthusiasm. In addition, I don't know who put forward the idea of holding a small art party in yusui Town, which made many people go to the warehouse in yusui town with their families.

The city made of steel and cement has a sense of excitement in the moving of people.

Holding his chin with one hand, Xu Jiu leaned over, suddenly smacked his mouth, looked up and poured a mouthful of honey.

Somehow, it's not as sweet as before.

The winter dusk in the wasteland is always very short. Xu Jiu hasn't finished drinking a can of honey, and night has fallen.

Open the video downloaded in advance on the mobile phone and put it on the platform behind the searchlight. Xu Jiu sits on the bamboo chair by the campfire, crossing his legs. The warehouse not far from the sentry tower is brightly lit.

At one moment, Xu Jiu suddenly straightened up and looked at the stairway on the top side of the sentry tower.

Put off the iconic light gray long windbreaker uniform, lined with a high neck sweater and covered with a beige windbreaker, Vanessa appeared in front of Xu Jiu with a lunch box.

"This is a freshly made dumpling. You have a share."

Put the lunch box in Xu Jiu's arms. Vanessa's eyes swept over the top of the tower, raised her hand, pulled out a chair, and sat down against Xu Jiu's surprised eyes,

"There are some things that haven't been finished just now. I don't like putting things off until the next day."

"Well... OK, you say it."

He opened the lunch box and looked at more than a dozen dumplings in his eyes. Xu Jiu didn't want to, so he poured them all into the broth.

"Wushan gathering point has issued a warning to all mobile cities within its jurisdiction to make small mobile cities close to medium-sized and large mobile cities seek asylum."

Playing with the bonfire, Vanessa continued the unfinished topic,

At the same time, the emergency Bureau dispatched a large number of cruise drones from the static city into the mobile city around the wasteland and began to search carpet. These insects must have their source *.

"Wait, can't you directly use satellite positioning? UAVs can really play a role in the harsh environment on the wasteland?"

Birds on the wasteland are not easy to mess with. This kind of UAV is likely to be destroyed before it works.

"If you can launch a satellite, do you think those two people can escape in such a huge invasive parasite in front of us?"

Vanessa asked back, and then said reluctantly,

"We have long tried to explore the world outside the planet, but the impact of the special region is far worse than you think. As far as I know, no stationary city has been able to launch satellites so far."

"How did you... Do it?"

Xu Jiu took out his portable communicator. He always thought it depended on satellite signals, which could be used in the wasteland without networks and signal towers.

"Of course, it depends on mobile city 001. At the beginning of its establishment, it has been built into a huge information transceiver. Like the subsequent six mobile cities, they are located in the wasteland where the six gathering points are located. They are regarded as the core mobile city, and you also regard it as a mobile signal city."

"001?"

"The serial number of the mobile city represents that it is the first mobile city put into operation."

The topic was unknowingly biased. Vanessa didn't seem to care much about it. She just looked at Xu Jiu who was putting strange color meat rolls into the boiler,

"These are the meat of alienated animals?"

"Well, I'm used to taking some meat after killing the alienated beast. It tastes very good. You should have said you would come earlier. Maybe I can prepare a pair of chopsticks for you..."

Clang~

Xu Jiu, who had not finished speaking, looked at the woman opposite who drew out a short knife, cut firewood as if no one else was there, and soon made a pair of chopsticks, speechless.

Even if the meat of invasive alienated animals is really rare, don't you have to?

"The investigation team who went to the B5 special area came back. They found a large number of corpses in the special area. It can be preliminarily determined as an experimental body cultivated by parasites, which is enough to prove that this is a long planned terrorist attack. The other party can survive for a long time in the sub-level special area and has extraordinary strength. We suspect that they want to create a tide of parasitic animals on the Wusu wasteland."

She picked up a box of vegetables next to her and poured it into the boiler. Vanessa raised her legs, took the empty box as her job, and said again,

"I'm not used to lively scenes. Do you mind adding a pair of dishes and chopsticks?"

"Eat. I've prepared a lot."

Xu Jiu adjusted her mobile phone to the angle that both of them could see, and then turned up her voice.

"I'm not interested in beauty idols. You don't have to take care of them."

Pick up a piece of meat roll, Vanessa said without looking up.

"Cough, I'm afraid you're bored. Besides, this variety show is very good."

After coughing twice, Xu Jiu turned his mobile phone back to the original angle and looked at the sparse stars and the bright moon in the sky

"The moon tonight is unexpectedly round!"
