Lin Qingqing's ears were bombarded, and she learned from Lu Xin's heart-wrenching roar that after Lu Geng died, only a human face and skin were left.
The murderer is unknown.
He acted cleanly and efficiently, and disappeared without a trace after killing the person.
"Is the head still there? Has the crown been opened?" Lin Qingqing was horrified when she thought of what Lu Xin had told her about Lu Geng eating a potted plant.
It's bad enough that there are bugs hiding inside corpses, but there are also bugs in living people's bodies, and they can pretend to be human. The thought of it makes people despair.
Lin Qingqing had just heard Lu Xin talk about Lu Geng, which had given her the idea of returning to the capital immediately. Unexpectedly, she had to go abroad and was delayed until now.
"I don't know. I didn't see the body." Lu Xin was silent for a moment before answering, "I was just notified and then took the ashes."
"My condolences." Lin Qingqing didn't know what to say.
"Come on, I'm not sad. He died a long time ago. He's not even a human being now, let alone the original Lu Geng. What do I have to be sad about? I don't even know when he stopped being a human being." Lu Xin probably had no place to complain, and he kept it in his heart and felt uncomfortable, so he yelled a few more times.
Lin Qingqing didn't mind Lu Xin's bad tone. She could tell that Lu Xin was actually blaming himself. Blaming himself for not taking good care of his brother, Lin Qingqing didn't know how to comfort him and could only remain silent.
"What do you want from me?" After Lu Xin vented his emotions, his intelligence was no longer hindered.
"I'm at the Yanjiao base and need to get a few communicators. Do you have any connections? Money is not a problem." Lin Qingqing said proudly.
"Why did you arrive in Beijing just now?" Lu Xin on the other end of the conversation was obviously stunned.
Lin Qingqing: "Don't mention it! Phone bills are expensive... Can you help me get a communicator?"
Lu Xin: “…” The one who said money is not a problem!
"I need to contact him. Give me the address and I'll let you know if there's any news."
Lu Xin's answer made Lin Qingqing feel relieved. Lu Xin was indeed very powerful and had connections in the capital.
Lin Qingqing gave Lu Xin the address.
Seeing that there was still time, he asked about the situation in the small camp in the orange orchard. He learned that Big Ears and the others were safe, but the camp was developing better and better, and someone from the official Liancheng base was spying on it.
"If you have time, you'd better come back."
Before Lin Qingqing hung up the phone, Lu Xin's words made her worried again.
Things may not be that simple. Without Liu Qiang and Lao Tan in charge, the small camp may suffer setbacks before Big Ears grows up.
But as long as I'm alive, it's fine.
As long as you are alive there is hope!
…
The trading center in the capital is very large, and nothing can be sold except controlled firearms, special medicines, and energy such as gasoline.
There's almost everything here.
Of course, the fruits and vegetables imported from abroad that need to remain fresh, like those in Lin Qingqing's space, are definitely gone.
All international air travel has been suspended.
Domestically, only small passenger planes travel between major bases, carrying the necessary supplies.
As birds in the sky mutate, plane crashes become more frequent. The death rate from air travel is rising. Passenger aircraft will gradually be phased out of the market.
Military aircraft were stationed aboard eight motherships, circling Chinese waters and conducting planned bombing raids targeting areas densely populated by zombies. As ammunition became unavailable, the frequency of these bombing raids gradually decreased, gradually replacing the original method of air transport.
However, ordinary survivors who were unaware of the truth gradually calmed down from their initial panic. Even though zombies attacked the city every month, everyone was not as desperate as they were at the beginning.
Lin Qingqing walked around the trading center. There were many first- and second-level crystal cores in her space, and there were many things here, especially daily necessities and department stores. Because they could not fill her stomach, they were shockingly cheap.
So she had to go to the toilet frequently because she had to store the things she bought in the toilet.
She now regrets very much that she didn't bring the hamster with her, otherwise she could let the hamster hide in the bag and help her pack things.
During this time, I also met Lao Er and two other teammates who came here to meet up with everyone.
So there was a bag carrier.
Men will never understand women's love for shopping.
The second brother followed Lin Qingqing with a look of despair on his face. He spent two hours shopping and went back to the bathroom to clear out the goods countless times.
He made a decision that he would remain single for five hundred years.
At half past eight, homecoming music sounded in the trading center.
"Let's go back quickly, we won't be able to get a taxi soon." The second brother heard the music and it was like the sound of nature.
Lin Qingqing then stopped with regret.
As a result, when they arrived at the door, there were too many people leaving at the same time and they still couldn't get a taxi.
"Hey, it's good to have Old Joe here. He has a lot of cars." The second brother's legs were weak and he leaned under the street light, looking fragile.
"There are surveillance cameras everywhere, and we can't take them out." Lin Qingqing felt a little tired at this time. She did have a car in her space, including an armored vehicle, but she didn't dare take it out!
What's more, the base prohibits the trading of gasoline, so no civilians use private cars at all.
"How about we go back and buy a solar car? We still have half an hour left. I just saw one for sale in the showroom."
The price was a bit high, and she looked at it several times but couldn't bear to buy it.
The main reason is that she thinks this kind of car can be picked up for free outside the base.
"No, I think I'm okay again! Let's go!" The second brother's face changed when he heard that. He asked her to go in again. After buying a car, she could at least shop until closing time.
The other two teammates who were originally sitting on the ground were also overly frightened and jumped up, repeatedly urging, "Go, go, go!"
"Why don't you go back first? The address is at the intersection of West Street, diagonally across from the military hospital. It's the one with the collapsed wall!"
Lin Qingqing couldn't help but think about buying a car.
She is usually very frugal, but once she starts spending money, she can't control herself.
"No, even though there are patrols in the base, it's still very dangerous for a girl like you in the middle of the night."
The second brother winked at his other teammates, and the two of them rushed over almost at the same time, one on each side, carrying Lin Qingqing and running away.
The journey, which would have taken more than an hour to walk, was reduced to half by them by dragging and pulling.
When I got home, the collapsed garbage at the door had been cleared away, but the courtyard wall was only one meter high.
There was a fire in the room and voices could be heard.
Lin Qingqing and the others walked in. There were seven or eight people in the room, roasting steamed buns around a fire.
Seeing Lin Qingqing and others enter the house, Xiaojiu from the Black Dragon Society, who was also baking bread, suddenly had his hands shaken and the steamed bread slices fell to the ground.
"Big sister! Woo woo woo!" A thin figure suddenly rushed out from the crowd like a cannonball and threw itself into Lin Qingqing's arms.
"Fang...Jack?" Lin Qingqing finally managed to identify who it was from the scarred face.
He was one of the kids in the first team.
At that time, the shrewd District Chief Liu was not as attentive and considerate to them as he was to his own daughter Liu Xinxin.
When she left the fish pond, she also gave the child her nail gun.
"You still remember me?" Fang Jie Ke laughed and cried. Everyone he knew was dead. If it weren't for Sister Li Zi, he would have died too!
"Of course I know him." Lin Qingqing felt soft-hearted when she saw how embarrassed he was and touched his hair.
"But my mother doesn't recognize me anymore!" Fang Jieke broke down and burst into tears, hugging Lin Qingqing, tears streaming down his face.
"Jack, don't disturb Dr. Lin for now." Li Zi clenched his fists, stood up and pulled Fang Jack away.
Li Zi still remembers that when they were at the fish pond, Dr. Lin left without taking care of the children.
She was afraid that Fang Jie Ke would anger Dr. Lin and they would have no place to stay tonight.
She had no good intentions when she first took Fang Jack in, but as the two of them lived together for a long time, she really started to treat Fang Jack as her own brother.
Li Zi took Fang Jie Ke upstairs.
Liu Qiang and Lao Tan gave up their seats to Lin Qingqing and the other three. "It's cold outside, let's warm up by the fire first."
Lin Qingqing did not hesitate and sat down by the fire.
The second brother and the others pulled her back as if they were running for their lives. Her hands and feet were not cold, but her face was almost turned into an ice sculpture by the cold wind.
"Doctor Lin, you are finally back. I have been waiting for you for a long time. I have even eaten two steamed buns." Xiaojiu finally had time to interrupt.
Suddenly, the iron skewer with the steamed bun in his hand was taken away by Lao Er. Xiao Jiu looked at Lao Er unnaturally.
The second brother took a bite of the steamed bun and slapped Xiaojiu on the shoulder, but his face turned towards Lin Qingqing, "Why did you trick my cousin here too?"
Lin Qingqing took the steamed bread slice from Qiao Ruoran's hand and dipped it in the ketchup handed over by Old Eagle. "I've been to the Black Dragon Club."
She said it casually, but she was extremely surprised in her heart. Was the second brother actually a member of the Black Dragon Society?
In her unreal memory, the second brother seemed to have an official background.
Xiaojiu opened his mouth to interject, but Lao Er beat him to the punch again, "Is this the house provided by the Black Dragon Society?"
Lin Qingqing nodded and said, "I exchanged durian and mango for it. There is another set in the South District. Xiaojiu came here to get the remaining durian."
The second brother touched his chin, his narrow eyes narrowed, and he looked thoughtful. He sniffed and asked Xiaojiu, "The old man is still alive, right?"
"Well, Grandpa is in good health..." Before Xiaojiu could finish his words, the second brother sneered, "That's good."
"Doctor Lin, you should move! My old man is not a good person. He might sell you out one day!"
"Second brother!" Xiaojiu stood up in shock.
"Did I say something wrong?" The second brother looked up at Xiaojiu with a cold look.
"Xiaojiu, you go first! The remaining durians will not be exchanged for the time being." Seeing the attitude of the second brother, Lin Qingqing frowned and drove him away without any courtesy.
"But..." Xiao Jiu was unwilling to give in. Old Tan, who was standing next to him, grabbed him and locked one of his arms. He said coldly, "My boss ordered you to get out!"
As he spoke, Old Tan dragged the man towards the door. Xiao Jiu looked at Old Two in surprise.
The second brother didn't even look at him. He asked Lin Qingqing as if nothing had happened, "I'm starving. Is there anything to eat?"
Lin Qingqing rolled her eyes at him. "That was the end of the big house!" He still wanted to eat. "You're dreaming!"
Lao Tan dragged the man away and went to the next room. Liu Qiang also told Qiao Ruoran to go upstairs to rest. The other two teammates sensed that the atmosphere was not good, so they each grabbed two steamed buns and ran away.
There was no one else in the room. The second brother looked at the fire in silence, not knowing how to start and tell others about his miserable life.
He didn't wake up until he heard a small snoring sound beside him. He didn't know when that bastard Lin Qingqing took out a recliner and was sleeping soundly with a blanket wrapped around him!
The second brother's eyes widened. No wonder everyone always forgets she's a woman! He was also impressed by her ability to fall asleep in seconds!
"Hey!" The second brother sighed softly, feeling relieved. He didn't want to show his scar to anyone!
Families, especially those with money, power and influence, always have some unknown secrets.
In the face of interests, family affection is like soap bubbles, and nothing is unsacrificable.
That's why he didn't want Lin Qingqing to have contact with the family.
This group of people, this group of people in their space, all have various advantages and disadvantages, without exception, they are all outstanding people.
They might be cruel and ruthless, and they might turn their backs on others, but he knew that everyone cherished and missed the peaceful year in the space.
And all this stolen time came from this seemingly insignificant girl.
The girl actually has a delicate appearance and is very attractive, but when you get along with her, you often forget her gender.
The second brother unconsciously revealed a gentle smile. Fortunately, he had planned to remain single for five hundred years, otherwise, whoever fell in love with her would be in trouble!
For example, Qiao Heimian, that introverted guy, maybe he himself doesn’t even know it!
There are also Ming Saonan and Qu Guangu. He thinks that guy has no hope either.
Because their creditor, the little devil, is not smart at all!
The second brother was lost in thought when a gust of wind blew and he realized that the door was still ajar, so he got up and closed it.
He added a piece of firewood to the fire, slowly skewered a steamed bun, and baked it over the fire.
Smelling the burnt aroma of steamed buns, my restless heart gradually calmed down.
…
The next morning, Lin Qingqing smelled a sour smell in her nose, "Bean juice!"
She was so startled that she nearly fell off the recliner.
"Haha, Qingqing, hurry up and get up! The eagle finally did a good thing. The neighbor forgot to move the clay pot. There's fermented bean juice in it."
Old Tan was busy in the kitchen. Hearing the noise outside, he raised his round spoon and greeted Lin Qingqing.
Everyone went downstairs one by one, some covered their noses and ran away, while others waited eagerly for a bowl.
Lin Qingqing glanced around and scratched a few strands of hair that were tangled up in her hair. "Where's the second one?"
"He said early this morning that he wanted to go home. He's from Beijing too? I didn't even recognize any accent in his voice."
When Lao Tan was young, he was a provincial martial arts champion and wanted to join the national team. To this end, he worked hard in Beijing for many years.
Lin Qingqing hummed, wrapped herself in a blanket and sat there in a daze.
She searched her memory but could not find any image of soybean juice. But she was familiar with the smell.
This is a Beijing snack with a unique taste. If you haven't been in Beijing for a long time, it will be difficult to get used to its different taste.
"Come on, the douzhi should be drunk while it's hot. However, I can't make fried dough sticks, so I'll give you some pickles." Old Tan brought a bowl of hot gray-green thick soup and a plate of pickles.
When Lin Qingqing smelled the sour taste, her appetite was aroused. She threw away her previous memory and took a sip!
"It's so sour..." She grinned, feeling that this was the sourest soy milk she had ever tasted in her life!
Suddenly a picture appeared in her mind. She was sitting on a plastic chair, and the sour taste of the soy milk made her cry!
Lin Qingqing was holding the bowl in a daze. In the scene that just flashed by, she was using a children's bowl! When she cried, she was calling for her mother.
Is this her real memory?
