Chapter 73 The distant skyline was tinged with a faint golden color. Xiao Yubai opened his eyes dazedly and stretched out his
The distant skyline was tinged with a faint golden hue. Xiao Yubai opened his eyes drowsily and stretched.
She had been either in a laboratory full of dangers or on the road recently. This was the first time she had a good night's sleep since she came to this world.
She glanced at Ming Yuheng, who was crawling on the ground, using his tail as a pillow. His long eyelashes cast a small shadow under his eyelids, and trembled slightly with his breathing.
Xiao Yubai bent down and observed her for a while. The scales on both sides of her temples had become so light that they were almost invisible. She stretched out her fingers and pinched her cheek.
Only at this time will he be so well-behaved.
Her golden eyes suddenly opened, and she jumped up violently, rushing towards Xiao Yubai. Bang, the iron bed was shaken violently, and the sharp teeth pressed against her throat, pressing her directly onto the bed.
Xiao Yubai frowned, and grabbed Ming Yuheng's hair to force her to look up. Familiar face, comfortable touch.
The fierceness in Ming Yuheng's eyes gradually dissipated, and her confused consciousness immediately returned. She seemed to realize that she had caused trouble again. She rubbed her head against Xiao Yubai's collarbone in a flattering manner. With a hoarse voice just after waking up, she called out again and again:
"in vain……"
"in vain……"
Xiao Yubai didn't appreciate it. She glanced at Ming Yuheng who looked aggrieved and said firmly, "Go back to your own bed and sleep in the future."
"Wrong."
"Baibai... is wrong."
Although it admitted its mistake with its mouth, its tail uncontrollably wrapped around Xiao Yubai, bounding around her chest and moving around.
"Hmm..." Xiao Yubai was caught off guard and trembled, her face flushed. She slapped her head and said coldly: "Let go of your tail and get off me. Now!"
"Oh." Seeing that Xiao Yubai was really angry, Ming Yuheng hurriedly climbed up, lowered his head, and stood straight against the wall, looking as if he was being punished.
Xiao Yubai ignored her and went to wash up.
He silently took a few steps, facing Xiao Yubai, looking at him again and again. He suddenly felt thirsty and wanted to drink some water.
Baibai is so soft, softer than the marshmallows she had eaten before. She really wants to take a bite, it must be very sweet.
As she was thinking, she remembered that Xiao Yubai didn't pay much attention to her now. She glared at the troublemaker and grabbed him.
The tail in my hand drooped limply toward the floor, still visibly pink. Dead again.
She carefully poked the pink part with her hand and studied it. Could it be broken?
The slight burning sensation that originally existed only in the tail suddenly spread to the whole body, burning from the tail vertebrae to the face.
Her head was dizzy after just waking up, so she immediately squatted on the ground and covered her red pointed ears.
Is she going to break down too?
No, she hasn’t had her fill yet.
Xiao Yubai was no longer surprised by Ming Yuheng's strange posture. She pointed at the alarm clock on the wall and said in a deep voice:
"You'll have ten minutes to wash and dress, go out on time at six, and report to Colonel Song at the drill ground on time at six-fifteen."
After finishing all this in a hurry, Xiao Yubai finally handed Ming Yuheng to Song Yushi in time.
On the martial arts stage, the soldiers had already lined up and were running in circles in unison.
Seeing Xiao Yubai leave, Ming Yuheng pursed his lips, very dissatisfied. He stood loosely in front of Song Yushi and stared at her.
"Ming Yuheng, you are now assigned to the Dawn Team 1, number 0020, and you must return to the team immediately."
A loud shout startled Ming Yuheng, and she bared her teeth fiercely. Song Yushi frowned slightly and looked at her sternly.
The hairs on her tail stood up all of a sudden, and before Ming Yuheng could react, she had already run to Chenxi Team 1, holding her tail and standing there.
Suddenly, there was a burst of laughter all around. Ming Yuheng slowly breathed a sigh of relief. When Song Yushi turned around and scolded the other teams, she bared her teeth fiercely at her back.
Xiao Yushi was standing on the stands nearby, watching her movements and burst out laughing.
They adapted very quickly. It seems that Colonel Song had trained them very hard in the past.
After running laps and completing a complete set of basic training, the team, which was ready to go, received their mission and drove out of the base in an off-road vehicle.
Only Chenxi Team 1 and Ming Yuheng, who was facing a formidable enemy, were left to train as usual.
Xiao Yubai walked towards the laboratory assigned to her by the base, and visited the young men who entered the base with her.
The girl was carrying an axe on her back, standing at the entrance of the crowded employment center waiting for Xiao Yubai. Several other teenagers were jostling for tasks at the employment center.
The girl showed her white teeth and said with vigor, "Dr. Xiao, I discussed it with a few other people, and we signed up as mercenaries together. You told us before about the fatal points of zombies. It is quite easy for several people to kill one together."
Perhaps because she was afraid that Xiao Yubai would worry, she continued to talk about their lives in the base: "The base provides the most basic needs for us civilians who come to the city. We won't starve to death. If we want more, we need to earn contribution points in exchange."
"There are many ways to earn contribution points. Some people work in the city, while others go out of the city to take on missions. Missions outside the city are basically to help the regular army, clean up the battlefield, and move supplies. They are generally not very dangerous. Missions like killing zombies are usually only taken by regular troops or special mercenaries."
"I want to buy a small apartment of my own in the base, which requires a lot of contribution points, so I discussed with them about going out of the city to do missions. Isn't this how good life always comes step by step?"
The girl's face was filled with a bright smile, just like the rising sun at this moment. Full of hope.
Xiao Yubai was infected by her and also curled up the corners of his lips and smiled.
"Good luck."
The young man who was trying to grab the mission ran out excitedly and shouted loudly: "Captain, Captain, we got it. We can go out of the city to do the mission later. We have to transport food to the city that was captured by them. I heard that the amount of food to be transported this time is large, and many teams will be arranged, so we are the ones who have just registered."
All around were teams cheering like the boys.
Teams of cars drove out of the city in an orderly manner. Xiao Yubai looked at their backs, thought softly, and took the matter to heart.
They all work so hard to live, she shouldn't fall too far behind.
She seemed more motivated than she had been in a long time.
"Ding ding ding, verification passed, hello, Dr. Xiao Yubai."
Xiao Yubai passed the verification and visited her own laboratory. It was a little small, but it had all the necessary experimental equipment. It was not far from her residence, so she could send Ming Yuheng off first before going to the laboratory every day.
After getting permission, she visited several other laboratories under the guidance of the laboratory director.
She first took Xiao Yubai to the largest laboratory in the Dawn Base. More than a dozen researchers surrounded the corpse of the Zombie King, conducting dissection research.
The general manager saw Xiao Yubai looking down at the corpse and said in a deep voice:
"We have carefully studied the corpse of the zombie king these days, and compared it with the zombie kings sent from other bases. The positions of their hearts are all different, and there is no pattern. In the past few months, zombie kings have appeared in various places, causing great losses to various bases. Not only are we making progress, they are also making progress."
Her expression was a little solemn, and then she smiled apologetically at Xiao Yubai.
Xiao Yubai shook her head and asked another question that concerned her.
"Although the population of Dawn Base is the largest among all the major bases, it is also the largest in area. There is a vast expanse of farmland outside the base, so food should not be in such short supply."
When the person in charge was mentioned, he complained again: "Dr. Xiao, you are not studying this field, so you don't know. The heavy rain not only mutated the creatures on Earth, but also polluted the land. Land with high concentrations of zombie viruses cannot grow food at all. Now most of the arable land in the base is waste, and the crops grown cannot survive. We have experimented for a long time, but no matter what method we use, we cannot reduce the virus concentration."
"Our Dawn Base has always been open to everyone. With a large population, resources have always been in short supply. We have to rely on the regular army to continuously recover lost territory to obtain food. These days, Commander Shen has specially led a team to capture the largest granary, and they should be back soon."
Xiao Yubai lowered his eyes and thought for a while. If it was impossible to eliminate the viruses in the soil, then could he change the genes of the seeds and encode non-aggressive zombie virus sequences so that food could grow in contaminated soil?
If this works, will the crops grown contain antibodies to the zombie virus, allowing soldiers on the battlefield to kill zombies without having to be restricted and worried about being infected by the zombie virus?
This is a direction, she needs to study the zombie virus first.
The following was a life of going to and from work. In the morning, Ming Yuheng was sent to the martial arts arena, and in the evening, he was picked up. After washing up, he stayed in her room and refused to leave. She threw him to the floor indifferently. The next morning, he recalled the horror of Song Yushi and refused to go. She dragged him to the room and threw him there, day after day.
Xiao Yubai came to the martial arts arena as usual, and as expected, Ming Yuheng was running in front with his tail between his legs. Song Yushi was chasing him from behind with his face red and cursing.
"Stop right there, you little puppy! I'm going to beat you to death."
"Haha." Ming Yuheng laughed arrogantly while running and the next second he was hit on the tail by a fireball falling from the sky.
As if her butt was on fire, she ran faster, hitting the ground with her tail as she ran to put out the fire.
Xiao Yubai had a headache. She glanced at Chen Chenchen who was looking at her with great interest and asked softly, "What did Ming Yuheng do today?"
"She dug up the wine that the Colonel had buried under a tree, and her tail carried off a can, which she smashed as she ran."
"My schoolmate is awesome."
"ox."
The soldiers who were watching the fun with great interest gave thumbs up.
Maybe Ming Yuheng and Song Yushi were getting along well, and he couldn't hide his inner toughness, so he became more and more unbridled. Every day before going home, there was a lot of chaos, which had become a must-see for many regular soldiers returning home after completing their missions.
Ming Yuheng was still very proud of being scolded, and ran out happily. When she saw Xiao Yubai's slender figure, she immediately lowered her head, held her slightly burnt tail in both hands, and showed it to Xiao Yubai.
"Bai Bai, she hit me and it hurts. Blow it." Ming Yuheng stretched out his tone, complaining and acting coquettishly, and he seemed justified.
"I'm going to kill you. You deserve it." He tapped her head hard with his slender fingertips.
Song Yushi's anger, which had been extinguished, rose again. She shouted angrily, "You son of a bitch! You dare to complain even though your skin is not even broken."
"Ah." Ming Yuheng jumped high and immediately hid behind Xiao Yubai.
Song Yushi couldn't bear to watch it, so she took a deep breath and signaled her to get out immediately and not appear in front of her.
How come her former instructor was so good-tempered that he didn't beat her to death?
