Chapter 60 Polyandry?
"What is it?"
"I don't know if I have the ability to raise Ah Huang and his children. If they get sick, I don't know what to do. So, big sister, can you help me take them away?" Kiki's eyes shone with eagerness. She knew that this request was a bit excessive. People can hardly survive nowadays, let alone dogs?
But she saw that Baozhu was raised by Qin Muxue to be very strong and friendly, but Ah Huang was raised by her to be skinny and she couldn't take good care of its children.
"As long as you are willing, I can take them away." Ah Huang was placed in the space farm, where the space was larger, the environment was better, and there was no need to worry about food and drink. Judging from the current living conditions of the wild boars and rabbits on the farm, this place was very suitable for the growth of animals. However, there were still restrictions on her as a human being. She could only stay in there for 90 minutes a day. When the time was up, her consciousness would be transmitted out.
In fact, she was reluctant, but she could do nothing. Qiqi squatted down and touched Ah Huang's head, "Ah Huang, follow your elder sister and be obedient. Take good care of your puppies. If there is a chance, we will still be able to meet one day."
Qin Muxue patted her shoulder. As a child, she was already very strong and sensible.
Ah Huang whimpered softly, as if she understood what Qiqi meant and was very reluctant to leave. The puppies also gathered around her feet.
"By the way, big sister, I wonder if you have enough food. We still have a lot of flour and rice here. I'll give you some! Oh, and we also have salted fish and bacon."
"No need, we have..."
But before she could finish her words, Qiqi had already started packing. Qin Muxue knew it was inappropriate to refuse now, so she just let her go.
Looking at the environment here, plus the food, it is enough for the mother and daughter to survive for a long time. With the giant turtle here to protect them, they will not encounter any attacks from mutant creatures.
Moreover, this place was not very far from the shelter. Qin Muxue followed Shi Yan's instructions and drew a map for her. "If you can't stay here anymore, come to the shelter!"
At least there is a place to shelter from the wind and rain, and compared to being in the outside world, there won’t be so many dangers.
But as Qiqi said, there are no ferocious beasts, but there are humans with all kinds of sinister intentions.
"Well, thank you, big sister."
Wu You took out a few books that he had treasured for a long time, "Qiqi, these are my two favorite novels. I'll leave them to you. If you are bored, you can read them."
"Wu You, thank you." Qiqi wiped her hands. The cover of the book was an exquisite picture she had never seen before. For a moment, she felt mixed emotions of sadness and joy. She could no longer receive education, but she still had these books to collect.
"Actually, you can go with us..." Wu You took out his gloves and stuffed them into Qiqi's hands.
Qin Muxue saw all of this. She would take revenge on anyone who treated her badly, but for such a kind little girl, she still thought about them even though she was in such a situation. This made her feel that maybe there was still hope for the next generation of mankind!
At Kiki's strong request, they decided to rest here for a night before leaving. There were many empty rooms, and they chose one that was relatively clean.
Qin Muxue disinfected the place where Qiqi lived and the room they lived in. At present, it seems that the mother and daughter do not have any symptoms of virus infection. What she is most worried about now is Shi Yan.
She looked at his cold profile. He was roasting corn on the fire. When she saw the corn just now, her eyes lit up. Perhaps Shi Yan noticed this.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing, I'm just scared, what if you get infected with the virus?"
"If I go crazy, just kill me." He chuckled.
Shi Yan rarely smiled, and this was one of the few times she saw him smile. She could only comfort him: "Good things happen to good people. Look, we have survived despite all the difficulties. We will definitely have a great life in the future! You will also be able to overcome the danger."
"I am not afraid of dying."
On the contrary, sometimes he even felt that death was a relief. If he could die in Qin Muxue's hands, he would be happy to do so. Perhaps this was a gift from God to him.
The dancing flames shone on his face, forming a layer of dim yellow light.
"The corn is ready."
Shi Yan handed the corn to Qin Muxue. Regardless of its scalding heat, Qin Muxue couldn't wait to take a bite. "Delicious! This corn is so sweet!"
Qu Yanbai shook his head and said, "Do it yourself and you will have enough food and clothing!"
He also wanted to eat corn cobs, and he was not as stingy as Shi Yan, so he roasted several at once and gave everyone a portion.
Ding Manman couldn't help but say, "This place reminds me of our life in Taoyuan Village." But they had to leave Taoyuan Village. I'm afraid that the village is now covered with ice and snow.
Seeing that they really liked the corn here, Qiqi packed up all the corn hanging on the eaves for them and said, "You can eat it on the way! We don't eat much anyway."
Qin Muxue accepted it without hesitation, and Manman asked, "Xiaoxue, are we really going to accept it like this?"
"They both look weak, but they are actually very strong-willed. And if we have no ulterior motives, wouldn't it seem strange? Sometimes, it's not a bad thing to accept some of their things with good intentions. Besides, this corn is so sweet, I love to eat it!" After saying that, she ate another corn.
Manman couldn't help but shook her head. The point she made might be the last sentence. Xiaoxue has now evolved into a complete foodie.
Qin Muxue closed the door and rested for a while. Taking this opportunity, she went into the space and divided out a place in the breeding area to prepare to settle Ah Huang and its puppies. She also stockpiled a lot of dog food and other meat, which was enough to feed the puppies, and these dogs would have other uses in the future.
After eating the corn cobs, they rested for a while and were ready to set off.
Qin Muxue specially took out a box, put some things in it, and also a few baskets, and left them quietly in the room.
Qiqi looked at them reluctantly, "Goodbye, big brothers and sisters!" She waved her hands, holding back the tears that were about to fall.
Kiki's mother held her in her arms. From then on, it was just her, her mother and the giant turtle who depended on each other.
After they left, Qiqi began to clean up the room, but found that they had left a box and several baskets here. She originally thought that they had lost them here, but when she saw the note left by Qin Muxue, she knew that they were specially left for her.
"Qiqi, thank you for giving me these foods. We will definitely enjoy them. As a return gift, these are for you and your mother! I hope you can make good use of them."
Kiki opened the lid of the basket and found that it was full of fruits, and the other one was full of vegetables. It was amazing that there were fruits and vegetables in such a snowy environment.
The other basket contained various kinds of meat, including pork, beef, chicken, and duck. These meats were enough for them to eat for a long time, and their value was far greater than what she gave them.
Finally, there was a large box, which contained several thick down jackets, thermal underwear, snow boots, a packet of seeds, and a few brand new books. Under the clothes, there were two pistols and bullets. A note next to them read, "These are self-defense items. Do not use them unless absolutely necessary."
Qiqi picked up the seeds and smiled, "I will definitely cherish these things."
A few people drove the snowmobiles again through the snow. The closer they got to the shelter, the more traces of people they could find. It would be inappropriate for them to continue driving the snowmobiles so ostentatiously, so they had to stop three kilometers away from the shelter, pack up all the vehicles, and prepare to walk over.
The location of the shelter seems to have been carefully considered, so the surrounding area is suitable for human habitation, except that it is relatively cold.
However, the winters in this place are relatively cold, which makes the people here more able to withstand the cold. There are many villages around the shelter, and it seems that there are still many survivors here.
In the previous life, if the population of the shelter decreased, vacancies would become available, and the survivors living nearby would rush to enter the shelter.
Everyone imagines that in the shelter, there is no worry about food and drink, but in fact, everyone has a job, just like the first group they chose to enter the shelter, they are all elites in various industries, such as doctors, nurses, engineers, programmers, biologists, planters, meteorologists, military strategists and other irreplaceable professions, and of course all kinds of soldiers from the navy, army and air force.
The second group are the elites in various industries who can replace professions, or the families of the first group, or the wealthy, officials, and those with relatively high status.
Only the third batch consists of ordinary people like them.
The only uncontrollable factor is the evolution of new humans with special powers. Because their bodies are very adaptable to the current harsh living conditions and have strong physical fitness, they soon become the rulers of the shelter.
However, the new humans are also divided into levels. For example, those with the most destructive power are at the top, followed by those with weaker destructive power, and finally those with strange superpowers that may or may not be possessed.
But no matter what, the new humans are still at the top of the food chain. In the shelter, ordinary people without special powers are the lowest level who can be trampled on at will. Even if they die, others will turn a blind eye.
While walking, they met a group of self-organized teams.
"Do you want to go to the shelter?" asked the leader, a girl in her twenties.
"Yeah." Qin Muxue nodded silently.
"You even brought a dog with you. Do you know what will happen to this dog? It will be made into dog meat hot pot, hahahaha."
The girl didn't attack them, so Qin Muxue didn't bother to pay attention to her. They would reach the shelter soon, so there was no need to bother with her here.
The girl was very angry at their indifferent reaction, "Hey, did you know that there is a toll for taking this road?"
The girl was about to put her arm around Qin Muxue's shoulders when she was thrown to the ground by her. The man behind her saw this and nervously wanted to help her up, "Ruoruo, are you okay? I told you not to mess with these people!"
"How dare they hit Ruoruo? Let's fight them!" A thin man came towards them with a hoe.
None of them bothered to use their special powers, and the man fell headfirst into the snow and couldn't get up. The girl named Ruoruo felt very embarrassed.
Qin Muxue understood that with their strength, they were indeed not qualified to enter the shelter.
The men helped Ruoruo up and ran away in shame. They looked at each other, thinking they had just watched a good show.
Ding Manman found it very strange. "That girl has so many men protecting her, but they don't look like her family."
This is not a difficult problem, because the number of surviving women is indeed much smaller than that of men, and the physical constitution of ordinary women is relatively weaker. If several men take care of one, the pressure will be less.
This is no longer the case in the old days. After a disaster strikes, a family with one woman and multiple men will be established with a woman as the center.
She was very familiar with the fact that young and beautiful women would also be preyed upon by men of high status, and that their beauty became their weapon in order to survive.
In her previous life, she was able to persist for four years because she insisted on dressing herself in rags, sometimes even smearing feces on herself. She cut off her beautiful hair and shaved her head into a flat top. She looked dirty and did not look like a woman, so as not to attract attention. She also had the strong willpower to survive.
"This is normal. Those men should be the girl's boyfriends." Qu Yanbai was the first to explain the reason.
"What?" Manman didn't even live to reach the shelter in her previous life, so she didn't know much about everything here. She was surprised when she heard this explanation.
"A girl, several boyfriends, aren't they jealous of each other?"
"What's there to be jealous about? There are so few girls. If it were me, I would pick a few good-looking men to favor me." Although Qin Muxue said this, she was actually using a joking tone. She was not interested in men at all now. In her last life, she ended up being killed because of a man. In this life, she would not make such a low-level mistake again.
However, after Shi Yan heard this, his face changed. He seemed to take it seriously. He couldn't imagine how she had several boyfriends, so he clenched his fists.
Qu Yanbai came to Ding Manman's side at this time, "Manman, when the time comes, you have to give me the position of a big husband, right? Look how gentle and considerate I am."
Manman was so angry that her ears and neck turned red. "What nonsense are you talking about? Be careful or I'll beat you up!"
