Chapter 099 Chapter 99
Ji Yang also squatted down and gave her a tissue: "Wipe it off."
Feng Yexing responded muffledly, took the tissue, and took a break. He felt a little better, but his eyes were still red. He looked at Ji Yang aggrievedly and muttered softly, "You know... Captain Lin died trying to save me during the acid rain last time. All the people who participated in our first mission also died. My cousin was just killed by those lunatics. My sister and I are the only ones left alive in my family. I'm so tired. I feel like I can't hold on any longer..."
Ji Yang's throat was a little blocked.
She felt that her memory was not very good and she did not come into contact with them often, so she should not be able to remember those people.
But as soon as Feng Yexing opened her mouth, she immediately thought of Captain Lin, who was the leader who came to search when she was reported for carrying a gun in Jiafu Community. At that time, he was worried about her safety, so he did not take away the crossbow. He knew very well that she had hidden the gun, but he did not deliberately investigate it. When he heard the location of the gang's lair, his eyes immediately lit up.
Feng Yexing's cousin Yan Cheng... The two of them didn't have much contact either, but she remembered that he was a cool guy, didn't talk much, was quite young and good-looking, could repair cars, and was a craftsman...
As for Feng Yexing's family, she had said happily before that she had brought her family over and would continue to work hard, because when her family came over, they had nothing and had to rely on her for everything.
As a result, there is only one sister left now...
Ji Yang opened her mouth to comfort him, but the words were so pale that she was embarrassed to say them. Saying that the natural disaster would pass? People nowadays didn't dare to believe this.
Instead, they believe that there is no end to natural disasters.
Otherwise it wouldn't be so crazy.
She could only accompany him silently and hand him a piece of paper.
Feng Yexing answered the call, wiped her tears, blew her nose, regained her composure, looked at Ji Yang who was worried, and smiled: "It's okay, I'm just complaining. No matter what, it's better to live and live well. Many people don't have this opportunity."
"Yes." Ji Yang curved his eyes and said, "If you have any difficulties, you can come to us."
Feng Yexing was immediately flattered and held her heart: "Wow, are you finally moved by me?!"
The tone of voice was exaggerated, and she didn't take the words seriously. It wasn't that she felt Ji Yang couldn't afford it, but what could she do? She herself had been promoted to a formal soldier, and the treatment was much better than that of ordinary people, and her family was also taken care of.
Under such conditions, she really lived a good life.
All those obstacles that she couldn't overcome were caused by the horrific natural disasters!
In the face of natural disasters, even a strong state apparatus has collapsed several times. What else can humans do? !
Ji Yang smiled, unable to say anything.
She knew from the beginning that she couldn't save everyone, but she could just give the base as much help as possible, and someone would always live a little better.
After chatting for a while, Feng Yexing was called by his colleagues to go on duty.
Ji Yang and Xie Muzhi went into the underground passage to take a look. After walking about ten meters into the passage, they could see that both sides of the open passage were full of injured people. At the intersection of several underground passages were temporary simple clinics that could treat some external injuries.
Medical staff are so busy that they are overwhelmed. They are also being picked on by the patients’ family members. There are also family members who complain to each other and fight with each other. The security guards and soldiers have to go over to maintain law and order...
After just a quick glance, Ji Yang pulled Xie Muchi back.
The atmosphere over there is too depressing.
After returning home, Ji Yang released Xixi and Wangwang. The presence of these two did bring a little more smile to their faces, but that was all.
After taking a shower, they lay in bed for a while. Both of them were very tired, but neither of them could fall asleep.
The house is soundproofed, so the sounds from the outside world are very faint, but even with such a tiny noise, Ji Yang felt as if someone was crying in her ear.
After a while, she simply sat up and said, "I can't sleep, let me find something to do."
"That's great. I can't sleep either." Xie Muchi stood up.
The two of them didn't say much, but they came to the first floor in tacit understanding. One of them set up a simple stove, and the other took out the herbs. Finally, they looked at each other and smiled: "Make some blood-replenishing soup?"
"Can."
Ji Yang can't cook, but he has read some books on Chinese medicine in the past few years. He still takes simple qi-replenishing and blood-nourishing medicines, but he doesn't dare to add too many things. People nowadays are weak, and it is easy for them to not be nourished and get too much nourishment.
The dosage was well controlled. Ji Yang prepared the medicine, and Xie Muchi also threw some blood-replenishing ingredients into the pot to cook.
About two hours later, a fresh and fragrant smell with a hint of bitterness filled the first floor. Ji Yang looked at the fire while Xie Muchi went to contact the official people to come and move these away.
There were three pots in total, which were transferred to the official logistics department, just enough to fill three large iron buckets for those who were seriously injured and weak.
After finishing the first batch, the two of them felt full of energy, so they continued to make it. The second batch was sent to the official soldiers, and then they continued to make the third batch and gave it to the lightly injured patients.
The two were also extremely sleepy, so they went to the bathroom to wash off the smell on their bodies and fell asleep as soon as they lay on the bed.
This sleep lasted quite long, almost twelve hours.
Xie Muzhi asked for less time and got up early.
But Ji Yang was still able to sleep, so he continued to sleep.
I didn't get up until my stomach growled with hunger. I looked at the time and it was three o'clock in the morning, but it was still dark outside. The sun still hadn't appeared and the fog continued to cover the entire world.
After the polar night, humans' biological clocks are directly disrupted.
Especially ordinary people who don’t have mobile phones or clocks have no idea what time it is.
Ji Yang and Xie Muzhi were fine, their phones were always charged and in use, so their daily schedule was based on the day and night displayed on their phones. It was only because of yesterday's riot and the fact that they had to make some nourishing soup that they slept that long.
Now my biological clock is messed up again.
Ji Yang collapsed on the bed, lying there with a look of despair.
There were faint voices coming from downstairs.
Ji Yang raised his eyebrows in confusion. Who came to their house?
She got up and went to the bathroom to wash up. Halfway through, Xie Muchi came up and saw that she had gotten up. He smiled and said, "The Gu family, the Qin family, the Yan family... are here to give gifts."
"What gift?" Ji Yang asked vaguely.
Xie Muzhi: "They all know that we were the ones who fired those shots last night."
When Ji Yang thought of the last time the Yan family gave her a gift, she hurriedly said, "Oh, if the gift is not excessive, just accept it. You take care of it. I'll wait until they leave before going down."
They were all a bunch of old foxes, shrewd people, and they liked small talk. She didn't like that, and she was not familiar with them, and she was even more unwilling to engage in this fake social interaction.
After saying that, she smiled ingratiatingly at Xie Muzhi, with toothpaste foam on her face.
Xie Muzhi snorted and laughed: "I've sent him away."
Ji Yang immediately praised: "You've worked so hard! I'll treat you to a meal later!"
Xie Muzhi pretended to be surprised: "And the dishes they brought out were all made by me?"
Ji Yang: “…Yes.”
She answered without any shyness, and Xie Muzhi also joked with her with a smile. After she finished washing her face, he took her hand with his big hand: "Breakfast is already prepared, so you don't have to bother to take it out specially."
Ji Yang expressed great regret, then happily went to the kitchen to serve the dishes.
The biological clock is messed up. Even if many people have planned to adjust it, they still have to eat breakfast at any time. After Ji Yang and Xie Muchi finished their breakfast, they served the two little ancestors at home and then took them to play the ball throwing game in the yard. The smell of food wafted from time to time around.
But the taste is obviously not as delicious as before.
After this incident, more than a quarter of the villas in the community were breached, many owners were injured, and many died, but most of the supplies were left behind because before they could run away, they encountered the army rushing over.
Xie Muchi went out to get some information and came back to share it with Ji Yang.
In the community, except for a few unlucky families living in the front who were the first to be attacked and most of their owners and families were killed, the worst hit were the families in the central area.
When the community was first built, many people knew the distribution of the villas. The closer the house was to the center, the richer the owner's wealth. This was especially true for the Gu family, who brought a group of people to share this area with the Qin and Yan families. The decorations were both defensive and aesthetically pleasing. Anyone with an eye could see that these were fat sheep.
Now they were targeted during the riot. One family was completely wiped out, three families were mostly wiped out, and the rest, including the Gu family, the Qin family and others, were shot and seriously injured.
The entire second floor of the Gu family's house was turned into a dangerous building and could not be lived in, so it had to be renovated. The walls, first-floor doors, windows and walls of several other houses were also severely damaged.
The government is unable to spare any manpower at the moment, so the repair work has to be queued up again. After this incident, the Gu family has become completely honest. Once bitten by a snake, they took the initiative to donate a large amount of food to the government at this critical juncture in exchange for more weapons.
They also came to Ji Yang to find out what weapons they used last time so that they could purchase them from the official.
This time they were very nice and didn't hit anyone who smiled at them. There was no deep hatred between the two sides, so Ji Yang told them. Gu Mingchao left contentedly and went to trade with the officials again.
As for the enough fire spots they want...
It seems to be another step further!
——
Half a month later, there was a major change in the personnel in the villa area.
Those families whose responsible members died chose to withdraw from the villa area and took the supplies and points from selling the villas to the more populated Area 2. Although there were dangers there, they were all minor dangers. Who could have imagined that once a riot broke out in the villa area, it would be so terrifying?
Almost all the rioters in the entire base gathered here. The huge crowd rushed towards the muzzles of the guns fearlessly. They were in the house, like standing at the center of a bull's eye. They were surrounded from all sides and could not find any other way to escape.
But as some people leave, others come. As soon as those who leave move out, a new group of people move in.
Ji Yang's neighbors didn't change. Not only that, several of them were hit by people with more power with supplies, hoping to switch places. The people who were hit refused to give in, saying, "No, no, we will never change!"
"You want to be closer to the boss's house. I want to be too!"
Some people even took advantage of the situation and acted like a good kid: "How could I know this? This place wasn't a popular location to choose from. I got up late and chose this place, and my wife scolded me for two days. I didn't expect that I could get some protection thanks to the boss! Hehe~"
"Before, I was thinking of visiting the Gu family's wharf and asking for protection, but it turns out there's a ready-made boss here! It's so cool..."
Those who were unable to move in looked at their neighbors with envy and sigh, and decided to just stay in their own homes. After all, it was a residential community, and even if there were any problems, the big guys shouldn’t... just stand by and watch them die, right?
No, let’s just pray that nothing goes wrong!
Do you still want to let people live like this?!
*
As the riot caused by the enemy attack subsided, Xie Muchi also found out what had happened.
The real enemy is our neighbours.
There had been a flood that submerged the entire country, and in order to survive, everyone landed on the territory of another country. In fact, they originally wanted to land on the territory of the Xia Kingdom, but were beaten back.
Then earthquakes struck, and the country they had just settled in could no longer hold out. There were also volcanic eruptions, and they all fled in panic once again.
But some of them had anticipated this, so they dispersed and sneaked into the territory of Xia State first.
The natural disaster made the country's control over the entire continent less strong. In addition, there was already a base established by a group of foreigners living here. With their cover, this group of people survived.
When the polar night came, this private base lacked the resources and could not withstand it. In order to survive, it naturally turned its attention to the nearest Changnan base.
The darkness and thick fog gave them an opportunity. After a long period of lurking, this group of people seduced the lower-level survivors who were living poorly in the base. When they had a mental breakdown, they promised them a bright future - robbing the rich. The wealth they had would be enough for them to live a lifetime!
This was true before the natural disaster, but after the disaster...it is actually impossible.
At most, they can live comfortably for a period of time. When the next natural disaster comes, without the protection of the base, everything will turn into nothingness.
But they had suffered for too long, and had struggled for too long in a period when they could not even get enough food, and many people were shaken, so there was a riot with internal and external support. The weapons were provided by the other side, especially the cannon barrels that could be used for bombing. Even though the materials used to build the houses at the base were already very strong, they were still blown apart.
The officials were attacked or attacked from both sides. Facing unfamiliar enemies in front, they could kill them ruthlessly. As for the riot in the rear, even if they responded to the enemy in the first time, they were still somewhat passive when facing the survivors who rushed to the front and had no weapons and were simply fooled into dying. In addition, there were too many people, far exceeding the number of officials left in the base.
So much so that the rear was almost lost at one point.
After this incident, the base strengthened its control over the survivors, and soldiers brought military dogs to search the base inside and out, finding many hidden items.
Area 1 was also searched.
Ji Yang's house seemed to be targeted by a military dog. Once they arrived, they refused to leave. So two soldiers came and knocked on the door to check. After Ji Yang confirmed that they were official people, he opened the door and let them search. The military dog ran in and sniffed around Xixi again and again.
The two soldiers were silenced.
Ji Yang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he offered a piece of salt-free and sugar-free bacon. The military dog drooled, but he stayed at his post and didn't eat it. Ji Yang stuffed it into the soldier in charge of it and said, "Give it as a reward. This is made of good meat."
The soldier accepted it hesitantly, and his originally businesslike expression relaxed a lot. He looked at the chubby Xixi lovingly and said, "You are the only family that still takes such good care of the dog."
Compared to this dog, his companion is much more pitiful.
His body, which should have been strong, is now skinny.
Ji Yang said frankly: "We have been together for so long that it is like a family member to me."
The soldier suddenly had an idea and asked tentatively, "Do you think Xixi is too lonely as a dog? Do you want to find a companion for him?"
Ji Yang looked at him hesitantly.
The soldier explained: "A group of military dogs have physical problems and cannot serve. We are worried about what to do, but we guarantee that they just have some external injuries and are not sick. They just can't perform their duties anymore."
We cannot afford to raise them ourselves, but if we send them away we are afraid that they will be eaten by others. Currently, the base allocates funds to raise retired military dogs, but some radical people think that this is a sheer waste of food and that we should take care of dogs when humans are starving to death.
But they have forgotten how many people these military dogs have saved before.
When he was in a dilemma, he saw a family that raised dogs so well, and he couldn't help but ask, if they could find a good place for the group of companions, the leader would not be in danger and they could live a better life.
Xie Muzhi looked a little moved and looked at Ji Yang: "My dad adopted a military dog before, but it was seriously injured and died of illness within two years. It was very good!"
Ji Yang was a little surprised by his expression and nodded immediately: "Sure! If you want, we will adopt it!"
It’s not like we can’t afford it?
Xie Muzhi's eyes softened, and then he looked at the soldier: "When can I go see it?"
"Wait for me to rest!" the soldier said immediately, "I'll come and take you there then!"
The two parties agreed on a time, but the soldier still had a mission to complete, so he left with the reluctant military dog.
Xixi was also a little reluctant, so Yinyin followed her to the door.
Ji Yang rubbed the dog's head vigorously. "I asked you to choose a partner before, but you chose a cat. It turns out that you don't like cats. Do you like partners who are equally matched?"
"Woof!" Xixi didn't understand what was going on, but still responded obediently, wagging her tail happily.
The owner is still the most important!
Ji Yang smiled and played with it in the yard for a while.
——
The biological clock adjusted with difficulty. At nine o'clock the next morning, the soldier Xue Mu, who had been agreed to meet them, came and knocked on the door. He took Ji Yang and Xie Muchi to see the retired military dogs that could be adopted.
Ji Yang didn't bring Xixi and Wangwang with him. He didn't know how many people would pass by along the way. Such a fat dog would be easily noticed.
Go directly up from the underground passage, pass by the crowded crowd, and come to a strictly guarded passage.
There is a guard post every ten steps here, and no one comes here.
When they came, they had to check their documents and register their information. After going through six checkpoints in total, they finally arrived at the logistics area of the military base.
This is a huge indoor space. The thick fog is blocked outside. The lights are bright and everything here can be seen clearly. There are departments with clear division of labor and soldiers working busy but orderly. When they see them coming, they all look at them curiously.
Xue Mu led them to walk for another ten minutes before they reached the place where the military dogs rested.
"Although they have retired, they are not willing to admit defeat. As long as they are released, they will take the initiative to go to the training ground. A total of five dogs have retired this time, three search and rescue dogs, one explosion-proof dog, and one drug detection dog."
"Drug enforcement?" Ji Yang was a little surprised.
Xue Mu's expression was gloomy and he didn't say much, presumably it was a secret. However, Xie Muchi showed a look of sudden realization. Ji Yang saw it and decided to ask him later when he got back!
At this time they also arrived at the military dog training place.
A dozen thin but still muscular military dogs are receiving training with their trainers. Most of them are German Shepherds, Rottweilers, and Dobermans. Each of them stands tall and handsome, more handsome than humans, except that they are a little thin.
After watching for a few minutes, one stage of training was over. Xue Mu immediately went over and said a few words to the person in charge of the training. The person in charge walked towards the group of military dogs and called out their names one by one. Five military dogs then came out first.
If you look closely, you can't tell the difference between them and other military dogs.
These animals were put on leashes and led over by five soldiers who seemed to be close to them. When they got closer, Ji Yang noticed that one of them had a limp.
Xie Muchi obviously liked it very much. He had already bent down to observe it, with a smile on his lips.
Xue Mu introduced: "They are actually not very old. The oldest one is Duoli, who is five years old. She was injured by a survivor who was eager to win during the search and rescue. She was injured again in the same place half a year ago, so she can't support long-term work."
He was comforting a beautiful German Shepherd dog closest to him. When Dolly heard her name, she looked at him, as if waiting for instructions.
Then I went on to introduce the remaining four.
Ji Yang listened, squatted down and looked at them, then tilted his head to look at Xie Muzhi who was smiling, and asked in a low voice: "Do you have any ideas?"
Xie Muzhi pursed his lips and smiled, his eyes slightly bright: "Yes."
But he didn't continue speaking, instead he looked at the five in front of him.
Ji Yang understood and said with a smile: "Okay, I agree."
Xie Muchi looked at Xue Mu and said, "We want to adopt them all, is that ok?"
Several soldiers nearby all looked surprised.
Xue Mu's mouth twitched: "Well, they have a big appetite!"
Xie Muzhi said seriously: "We can still afford it, I'm not kidding."
Xue Mu hesitated and said, "Okay, let's discuss it first. You can play with them. If they don't like you, you can't adopt them."
"Okay." Xie Muchi nodded and took the leash.
Among the five dogs, there was a golden retriever, two German Shepherds, a Rottweiler, and a Doberman. Except for the golden retriever, the others looked like they were not easy to mess with. But when Xie Muchi and Ji Yang took over their leashes and were led by the trainer to sniff the dogs, they behaved unexpectedly friendly.
There are two females and three males in total. None of them are sterilized, but they have never given birth. They are followed by trainers in their lives and rest in cages, which is artificially isolated.
Ji Yang looked at the golden retriever that had taken the initiative to sit next to her. She had not had the time to collect dog breeds before. First, she had not come across a suitable one. Second, she was worried that if she adopted them too early, they would breed too many and the space would burst. But Ji Yang could not be so cruel as to control the breeding rate of cats and dogs as she did with poultry.
Now is the perfect time.
They are young, the oldest is five years old and the youngest is only three years old, and all of them retired due to injuries.
The current environment is difficult and not conducive to recuperation, and the lack of medicine makes it even more difficult, otherwise they would not have retired so early.
Moreover, they are so young. In fact, in a few years, they will still be at their physical peak and can reproduce a new batch. If the natural disaster is not over yet, they will have to wait for the next batch to grow up...
Now that Xie Muchi has the space, if he doesn’t want them to breed, he can just raise the male and female separately.
Now with Xixi, there are three males and three females. Ji Yang and Xie Muchi can arrange their appearance at different times. They will not reproduce if they don’t meet.
She had a lot of thoughts in her mind as she approached the five military dogs one by one.
Their basic attitude is very friendly.
The same goes for Xie Muchi. It is obvious that they are not averse to contact with them.
While the two of them were interacting, the team discussing over there was also watching them. Seeing that they were getting along well, Xue Mu was soon shaken: "I think it's okay. You don't know, they already have a cat and a dog at home, and they are very fat. Their living conditions are very good, and they live in a villa area. Although five is a bit too many, they can definitely afford it!"
"This is against the rules..."
"But there aren't so many rules nowadays. Just follow them and you'll have meat to eat!"
"I agree..."
Everyone discussed in low voices. There were seven people in total, and four had already agreed. The remaining three were still worried. It would be fine to keep one or two, but if there were five, food would be a big problem. If the food was lost, would their companions become food?
At this time, Xie Muchi suddenly stood up and came over.
Several people kept silent and looked at him.
Xie Muzhi didn't get close, but just stood a few meters away and took out a large bag of smoked rabbit meat from his bag: "We want to give them a snack. This is for other military dogs. The ones we adopted can go back and eat it."
Xue Mu immediately perked up and ran over to take the heavy portion of rabbit meat: "No problem! I'll take it to the kitchen right away!"
Others: “…”
The three people who had just objected said weakly: "I think... we can also accept them all being adopted."
"You are so sincere. I can't handle this sugar-coated bullet anymore—"
"I always feel like if I refuse, Dolly will dump me."
Person in charge: “…”
——
Five were adopted and things were going very smoothly.
The formalities were completed that morning. Someone was specially assigned to explain how to get along with working dogs. They had a meal here at noon and fed the five dogs. After becoming thoroughly familiar with them, Ji Yang, Xie Muchi, and the five military dogs were driven directly back by the authorities.
Because they were afraid that if they went back directly, the five of them would be targeted, and they would be heartbroken if they were accidentally injured or taken away and eaten as dog meat. Besides, the rabbit meat they sent was just enough to offset the gas costs.
The two men gladly accepted the kindness and returned home with the five military dogs.
Afterwards, Ji Yang brought the two female military dogs back to the space, and Xie Muchi took the three males to his side.
When they first separated, the five were a little nervous, but as they entered the new world of space, they found many animals, plants, birds, clean water, and fish and shrimp.
This is literally straight to heaven!
"Woof woof woof!" Duoli and her little friend Jiang Mi both widened their eyes. After they came to their senses, they excitedly ran around the area, looking at the cows, sheep, pigs and rabbits, their eyes glowing green, and they did not forget to urinate to mark their spots.
Xixi and Wangwang were both startled by the two new big friends. Wangwang climbed onto Ji Yang in fear. Xixi was bolder. After glancing at her owner and making sure that he didn't have any strange reaction, she immediately ran towards the two new friends happily: "Woof woof woof!"
I didn't understand what was going on, but I saw the three of them quickly becoming one.
Ji Yang watched this scene with a smile. The three birds ran around the fenced-off food area, passed by the breeding area, and tried to grab the branches in the fruit tree area...
After the inspection was completed, Duoli brought Xixi and Jiang Mi back to Ji Yang. The three had already determined the relationship of the eldest, the second and the third. Duoli was the eldest. Even though Xixi was two years older, she was a spoiled naive girl after all. She lost in momentum, but relied on her flesh to successfully overwhelm Jiang Mi and became the second.
Ji Yang took two more rice bowls, placed them together with Xixi's, and put their lunch on them, a mixture of pre-cooked meat, some offal, rice, and vegetables. It didn't have much taste, but it was all good stuff.
Xixi immediately started eating with a grunt.
Duoli and Jiang Mi were stunned. Their heroic dog faces showed a human-like expression of flattery. They kept looking at Ji Yang, then at the food bowl, as if asking: Is this really for them?
Ji Yang pushed the rice bowl towards them and said, "Eat, it's all yours!"
The two of them started to eat tentatively.
Wangwang, who had been hiding in Ji Yang's arms, finally felt ignored and turned over her belly coquettishly: "Meow meow meow~"
"I won't forget you." Ji Yang took it to the other side and put food in its bowl. He was thinking about getting a few more cats and a few dogs native to Xia Country.
These are all excellent dog breeds that have been domesticated for many years, and we still don't want them to become extinct.
