Dr. Cai muttered, picked up the backpack on the bench, and was dumbfounded when he saw it.

There were various medicines for the elderly, a few packets of biscuits, a bottle of water, and even a set of thermal underwear that matched his size.

There was also a small waist bag in the backpack. When I unzipped it, I saw that it was filled with a bunch of first-level crystal cores and even a few points cards!

"Could it be that this girl is my biological granddaughter, and that brat Cai Donghu was picked up?" Old Doctor Cai fell into deep thought.

He must stay alive and ask Cai Donghu who Lin Qingqing is.

Lin Qingqing was blown away by Dr. Cai's thunder.

When she came out of the hospital, she saw Lao Sun still waiting, so she called him and took an electric taxi. It cost a first-level crystal core to find the address given by the woman.

"I thought you weren't coming." The woman was getting anxious waiting, so she only took half a day off.

"Come on in, I only have five minutes. I have to be on duty at one."

Lin Qingqing nodded and asked Lao Sun to wait outside.

She looked down at her watch. It was 12:15, and she breathed a sigh of relief. "Don't worry. I'll give you the taxi fare later. It's only ten minutes from here to your workplace. Take your time."

"...Okay." The woman took out the information she had found earlier. "I can't find any records of the people you mentioned being registered after the apocalypse. I also checked your address. That area happens to be a quarantine zone. I only found some information about them before the apocalypse."

After the apocalypse occurred, the government immediately dispatched a large number of staff to arrange the evacuation of the people.

Due to geographical reasons, most people within the Fifth Ring Road, where the population density is the highest, did not have time to evacuate. Also, because the virus spread too quickly, the situation got out of control, car accidents and fires followed one after another, and a large number of soldiers and grassroots government personnel were infected.

The only option is to take drastic measures.

The hardest-hit areas that could not be controlled were abandoned, and isolation zones were set up continuously between the fifth and sixth ring roads.

People who escape from the closed-off areas will be quarantined here for more than a month.

Only after passing the physical examination can they be transferred to the Pinggu civilian area.

As time goes by, the isolation line is pushed outward again.

The urban area and suburbs are basically deserted.

The situation in the capital city described by the woman was not much different from Lin Qingqing's memory.

She was actually mentally prepared for not finding the family members she remembered.

But he still felt indescribable discomfort and loss, and his face turned ugly.

"Please... accept my condolences." The woman looked at Lin Qingqing with some uneasiness. She took the money and did the job, but the result was terrible.

The woman hesitated for a moment and asked, "How about you rest at my house for a while?"

Lin Qingqing smiled bitterly and shook her head slightly, "No, thank you."

She flipped through the paper documents in her hand.

Above are some recent medical insurance card swipe records of Ms. Lin and Mrs. Lin.

This woman has really put a lot of thought into it.

"The network has crashed, and this is all I can find on the computer." The women were a little embarrassed. Although points were becoming less and less valuable, 500 points could still be exchanged for more than ten kilograms of coarse grains.

Those who have no connections can kill for these foods.

"Thank you for your hard work." Lin Qingqing put it away. No matter whether it was useful or not, it was all out of good intentions.

"Auntie, do you have any lollipops? My mom said that the supermarkets are closed..." A one or two-year-old baby ran out of the room.

She was not afraid of strangers either. She sucked her fingers and looked at Lin Qingqing with her black eyes as big as grapes.

Lin Qingqing forced a smile and said, "Well, the supermarket is closed."

Mothers no longer have to worry about their children getting cavities.

She didn't give the child a lollipop, but left a packet of milk tablets and a bag of millet.

After saying goodbye to the woman who thanked her profusely, Lin Qingqing walked out of her house.

"Where are we going next?" Old Sun blew his hands. It was freezing cold in Yanjiao at this time, and the temperature outside was already more than ten degrees below zero!

Lin Qingqing, who had just returned from Malaysia, was also a little uncomfortable, wearing a black down jacket over her military uniform.

"I need to go to the quarantine area. Just accompany me to the entrance." Lin Qingqing paid him the two first-level crystal cores that had been agreed upon, and also gave him two cans of eight-treasure porridge as a work meal.

Old Sun was pleasantly surprised. He was both happy and worried about his sponsor. "There are countless zombies in the quarantine area. If we're not careful, it could trigger a zombie tide. It's too dangerous for a girl like you to go in."

"The only dangerous ones are the zombies." Lin Qingqing pulled a cold smile at the corner of her mouth.

Old Sun shuddered. Come to think of it, a single woman with a lot of money on her body couldn't possibly be successful without some skills.

"Call a car, I want to sleep in the car for half an hour."

"Okay." Old Sun agreed and ran to the side of the road to call a taxi. Lin Qingqing took out a small alarm clock and adjusted the time.

The car arrived quickly, and Lin Qingqing fell asleep the moment she got in. She had been running all night and busy all morning, and was exhausted.

Half an hour passed quickly, and when we arrived at the isolation area, we ran into trouble again.

After Lin Qingqing was woken up by Lao Sun, she saw a large number of soldiers guarding the place.

The troops were arranged in echelons and columns, with armored vehicles and artillery vehicles ready for action.

"I can only take you here." The taxi driver's voice was mixed with gunfire.

Lin Qingqing hummed and paid him double his salary, "Send him back."

She pointed at Lao Sun and spoke.

"No need, I can just walk back." Old Sun felt sorry for the crystal core and snatched one back from the driver.

Just when Lin Qingqing thought he would put it in his pocket, he handed it to her.

Lin Qingqing received the crystal core and felt unexpectedly better. No matter how bad the living environment becomes, there are always people who stick to the bottom line of being human.

"Live well, goodbye."

Lin Qingqing took off her down jacket and stuffed it into Lao Sun's hand. Lao Sun said that he had a teenage girl at home.

When Lin Qingqing got off the car, she was wearing a thin second lieutenant's uniform and walked towards the troops alone.

"You must come back alive!" Old Sun yelled from behind, holding his down jacket that still had body temperature.

Lin Qingqing didn't look back, but waved back casually.

She is definitely alive, but I don't know in which time and space she will be.

She hoped that Old Sun, whom she had met by chance, could live well. She had just stuffed a few low-level crystal cores into the pocket of her down jacket. The number was not much and could not save her from poverty, but it could be used in an emergency.

Although she didn't have much supplies in her warehouse now, she had easier access to them than ordinary people. If she did have any, she wasn't as stingy as before.

The guard on duty saluted Lin Qingqing. Lin Qingqing snapped his legs to attention, returned the salute, and said seriously,

"Hello, comrade. My name is Lin. I'm a special agent from the base hospital. I need to enter the quarantine area to collect some specimens. Here are my credentials."

"Hello, sir... No one is allowed to enter or leave the quarantine area. This is a regulation from our superiors." The guard checked the documents carefully but frowned and refused.

"Which superior?" Lin Qingqing asked while looking around.

This place looked like it had been evacuated in a hurry, with only a few earthen walls blocking the innermost part. The workmanship was very crude, and it felt like a few powerful zombies would overwhelm it.

Outside the earth wall, several excavators were working as if they were trying to dig out a large canyon.

But even if we dig out the Grand Canyon, it still can’t accommodate the tens of millions of zombies in the urban area!

"It's my superior!" The guard was speechless and managed to utter a sentence.

Lin Qingqing ignored him and thought about how to force her way in.

It’s best not to destroy the integrity of their defense.

If the approach is wrong, it will make this already shoddy project even worse.

"What's going on?" An officer heard the noise and came over. He looked at Lin Qingqing and frowned.

The delicate and tender woman looked like she had been living a life of luxury, and even held the rank of second lieutenant, looking like she had graduated from a military academy! He had to kill more than a dozen zombies to be promoted to lieutenant. And because he had offended some people, he was demoted to this godforsaken place.

"Which part are you from? What are you doing here causing trouble?"

Lin Qingqing: “…” Oh my God, it’s Qiu Kai!

Tsk tsk, was he sent to Beijing by Li Baifu, or was he squeezed out by Lu Geng and had no place to stay?

"Liancheng, Li Baifu sent me here. Sister Shenghua asked me to say hello to you." Lin Qingqing was gossiping in her mind, but she looked at him with a smile on her face.

Qiu Kai's body trembled, and he stared at Lin Qingqing, who smiled mysteriously.

"Ahem...you guys go down first." Qiu Kai's heart was pounding, and he waved to ask the people around him to stand further away.

"What does my cousin want to talk to me about? Is she going to take me back to Liancheng?" Qiu Kai came closer and asked mysteriously.

Lin Qingqing smiled and shook her head, wondering in her heart, maybe Lu Geng or Li Xiaogang will be fine in this life, but without Qiu Kai, a distant relative of the Li family, the Liancheng base will have a place to stand?

"Are you doing something for my cousin?" Qiu Kai saw Lin Qingqing shaking her head, his expression gloomy.

"Yes! I have to go into the quarantine area. Can you give me some convenience?" Lin Qingqing asked with a smile.

"But... it's very dangerous in there." Qiu Kai carefully looked at the female officer in front of him. She was young, with fair skin and beautiful looks. She didn't look like a soldier, but more like a petty bourgeois white-collar worker.

After comparing her with the female comrades he knew who were more manly than men, Qiu Kai suddenly felt pity for her and his eyes were filled with tenderness.

When Lin Qingqing saw his expression, she couldn't help laughing. She really wanted to take a picture and show it to Qiu Kai, who only rolled his eyes at her in the world.

Seeing Lin Qingqing's beautiful smile, Qiu Kai's heart was moved and he blurted out: "I'll go with you."

Lin Qingqing: "..." Qiu Kai turned out to be this kind of Qiu Kai.

"No need, just let me go." Lin Qingqing put away her smile and said lightly.

She didn't want to be a burden, and she didn't want the second-generation ancestor Qiu Kai to live a good life and then die like this.

After Qiu Kai said this, he regretted it deeply. He was already very afraid of death, and when he heard the other party say that it was not necessary, he felt relieved but also a little unwilling.

It is against the rules to bring the other person into the quarantine area, but thinking of his cousin who is isolated and helpless far away in Liancheng, Qiu Kai still bites the bullet and uses his identity to bring Lin Qingqing through the checkpoint.

After passing through the military formation, you will face the "Grand Canyon".

Only when you get close can you see that the ditch is really deep. If it is filled with water, it will probably be a moat.

There is only one floating bridge connecting the isolation zone, and the isolation zone command post is at the bridgehead.

"I'll try to negotiate with them, but they may not let you in." When they arrived at the place, Qiu Kai said this to Lin Qingqing with a frown.

Lin Qingqing nodded. Qiu Kai frowned and explained with a gloomy expression, "My rank is low, so my words may not be effective."

"Yeah, I know." Lin Qingqing nodded again. The rank of second lieutenant is just a small ripple in this army of at least tens of thousands of people.

Qiu Kai: “…”

"You really don't have to be so blunt."

Looking at Qiu Kai's handsome face that looked like he was constipated, Lin Qingqing wanted to laugh again, but she held it back. Qiu Kai didn't know that they had always been very straightforward.

Qiu Kai said this and was about to walk into the command post.

"Wait a moment." Lin Qingqing took off the backpack behind her and took out a match-sized iron box. "Your cousin asked me to bring it to you."

"What is it?" When Qiu Kai heard this, a smile immediately appeared on his face. He took the box and wanted to open it to see.

"Someone is coming... You go back first. I can handle this myself." Lin Qingqing saw an old cabbage from a distance and raised the corners of her mouth.
