Chapter 48 Chapter 48
I don’t know if it was fate’s blessing or everyone’s good physical fitness, but after a week of quarantine, no one showed any symptoms, so they were all released.
As Qin Wei stepped into the house with his right foot, he was greeted by a string of water droplets.
Ye Xun soaked a few pieces of grapefruit peel in a basin of water, and while sprinkling water on them, he muttered something, which was a dialect version of the blessing words.
Qin Wei didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he cooperated with him obediently. After he sprinkled the water on the front, he turned around and let him sprinkle the water on the back.
After making sure there were no blind spots, Ye Xun asked Wang Yu to put down the basin in his hand.
He walked over to Qin Wei, holding his left hand and leading him to the dining table. "I knew you were going to come out today, so I heated up the dishes in advance. I thought there wouldn't be anything good to eat inside, and it looks a little thinner, especially here."
I pinched Qin Wei's collarbone, but the feeling was not as good as before.
I just eat those few tortillas every day, which means I don’t get enough protein. I also sit in the car every day without any exercise, so I will lose some muscle.
"I promise to train you back in these few days." Don't think he doesn't know that Ye Xun confirmed the relationship with him so quickly, and his figure was a big advantage. If he doesn't want to fall out of favor, he has to maintain it.
The husband's stature is the wife's glory.
"It's good that you know." Ye Xun was very satisfied with his performance. Without chest and abdominal muscles, he would lose points.
Wang Yu, who didn't dare to say a word, almost buried her face in the bowl, not daring to look up to pick up some food. She didn't expect her brother to have such a queen-like side. Hehe, I like it.
Perhaps it was because Qin Wei had been away for too long, even Bal rarely showed any intimacy with him. He stayed at his feet during the meal and never left his side.
Wang Yu didn't want to be a third wheel, so he finished his meal early and went back to his room.
The atmosphere started to become sticky after she left.
Ye Xun relied on his injury and thought that Qin Wei couldn't do anything to him, so he took off his slippers under the table and rubbed his thighs with his toes.
Looking at the patient expression on the other person's face, he revealed the expression of a kitten who had successfully stolen some fish.
Qin Wei couldn't stand it anymore, so he grabbed Ye Xun's ankle which was gradually moving upwards, and warned him not to make trouble. "If you move again, you won't be able to shut your mouth today."
It's too explicit! Ye Xun blushed and immediately became obedient after hearing this.
Wang Yu's mouth was dry after eating potato chips, so he wanted to go to the kitchen to get a bottle of Coke, and he gently closed the bedroom door.
Because the door opened too quickly, she heard everything she should and shouldn’t have heard. She is still a virgin!
Ye Xun and Qin Wei didn't know that their conversation was heard by the eldest girl in the room.
After the two finished their meal, they returned to their room. Bal followed closely behind them and slipped in through the crack of the door before it was closed tightly, as smooth as a loach.
It will probably take another two months for Ye Xun's fracture to fully recover, so there is nothing he can do. When the situation becomes serious, he can only lend him his left hand.
After helping each other, the two fell asleep in each other's arms.
The next morning, there was a knock on the security door outside.
Qin Wei gently pulled back his arm that was under Ye Xun's neck, put on his coat and went out to see, and found that it was Xie Wei.
He was followed by several patrolmen carrying bags and a vulture in the shape of a walking chicken.
"Hello, Mayor Chen said there is a vacant room here and asked me to stay here. Could you please give me the key to the elevator and staircase security door?"
Qin Wei feels that this person is like a high-achieving but mentally retarded person. All his IQ is spent on research, and he has no idea how to deal with people. It's okay to give him the keys, as he is good at judging people.
Sooner or later, someone will live next door, so it’s better to have someone you know live there. If it’s not Xie Wei, it will be Xu Feng and the others.
Qin Wei went back to the inner room and took out a key. "Only the elevator and staircase door locks can be opened with this. Don't open our door if you don't have anything to do with it. Also, don't give the key to others easily."
He was afraid that someone would just say a few words and trick Xie Wei into revealing everything.
Xie Wei felt that his brain was looked down upon, and he was a little unhappy. "Of course not, I'm not a fool. I won't talk to you anymore. I'm moving."
After saying that, he ordered the people behind him to pry the door open.
Just then, Ye Xun came out. There were pillow marks on his fair face, and his slightly long hair was sticking up in disarray. He looked like a high school student who was staying in bed at home during the holidays.
He was woken up by the sound of talking at the door. Qin Wei left the door open, so the voices came in. The voices Qin Wei was talking to sounded familiar, so he came out to take a look.
I didn't expect that he was actually an acquaintance.
"Senior brother, why are you here!" Ye Xun was very surprised. Senior brother was from T city. It took four or five hours to drive here before the end of the world, not to mention now when transportation is inconvenient.
"Brother Qin, is the person you went to City T to pick up my senior brother?" he turned to ask Qin Wei.
Qin Wei nodded: "Yes, it's him. So you know him."
"My university class teacher was my senior student's mentor, and he would often submit experimental data to the teacher, and we became familiar with each other through back and forth communication."
Moreover, my senior was too famous. He originally wanted to study a virus-related major and got first place in the written test. However, he spoke without thinking during the interview and annoyed the interviewer, so he was rejected.
But Ye Xun didn't intend to say anything about this, to save some face for his senior brother.
Xie Wei returned evil with kindness and attacked bravely: "Long time no see, Junior Brother. Is this your boyfriend? He is quite different from the ideal type you told me about."
Ye Xun was sweating coldly as Qin Wei looked at him, and he started to chase people away: "No one's aesthetic taste is static. My son Bal is calling me, I have to go in and coax him to sleep, we'll talk about the past next time."
After he finished speaking, he pulled Qin Wei into the room with his left hand and kicked the door shut to stop Xie Wei from talking nonsense.
Xie Wei was left standing there, still saying, "Not only has her aesthetic changed, but she also cheated on marriage and had children."
Ye Xun was in the room, carefully glancing at Qin Wei's face, "What my senior brother said just now was all nonsense, don't take it seriously, don't you know who I like the most now?"
"Of course I know best. It's your senior brother." Qin Wei's expression became subtle when talking about Xie Wei, and his cheeks clenched uncontrollably. "Has he really never been beaten in his life?"
In fact, not really. He used to spend every day in the laboratory and in the library looking up information, and had no time to communicate with other people.
"We had laws before, and now we have a base commander, so no one should dare to hit him," said Ye Xun.
"Don't bother with him. I'll be sad if he gets angry." Ye Xun tried to say something nice to calm Qin Wei down.
But Qin Wei didn't intend to let him go so easily. He was wondering why she looked at him with such a clear gaze when they first met, and why she wanted to be with him so soon.
Perhaps he was thinking of his own abilities, Qin Wei's eyes turned and he thought of a good idea. He leaned close to Ye Xun's ear and whispered something.
Ye Xun blushed, but still nodded in agreement.
The next day, Wang Yu came back from walking the dog outside and saw Ye Xun drinking porridge. She discovered something new on his face.
"Huh? Brother, why is the corner of your mouth cracked?"
How did it crack? It's all the fault of the big livestock at home. Ye Xun glared at Qin Wei unhappily, and then said perfunctorily: "Maybe you didn't eat enough fruit. By the way, the watermelon in the space is ripe, do you want to eat it?"
Just shut your mouth after eating the melon, I thought.
What would a greedy girl not want to eat? Wang Yu nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "Eat, eat, eat. I like watermelon the most."
"I almost forgot something important. Brother, someone in our base has been infected. They are coughing their lungs out."
Ye Xun frowned. They had already passed the incubation period, so how could there still be people infected? He asked Wang Yu, "Do you know who they are? The ones who went to the city together?"
Wang Yu swallowed the watermelon in his mouth, wiped the juice from the corner of his mouth, and shook his head. "It's the people in the rich area. There has been a death case. It was an elderly man in his 80s with coronary heart disease. He didn't make it through the first day of his illness. Now his children are asking for an explanation at the office."
Oh, the rich area, Ye Xun knew that those people originally lived in the villa area. During the rainstorm, they spent much more than twice the market price to buy high-rise houses near the office.
I heard that they disdain to eat mutated food, and what they have been eating until now is the food they stored during the heavy rain.
He always acts like he's superior to others, but I didn't expect to get the flu, while ordinary people are fine. It's really strange.
"What kind of explanation can I get? I usually don't come out to interact with people, who can I blame for this?" Ye Xun calmly expressed his thoughts.
Yes, so Chen Guoan couldn’t understand why these rich people never went out of the house, as if they had to lower their status by breathing the same air as ordinary people. How could they be exposed to the source of infection?
The patrol team was still alive and well, nothing had happened to them at all. He really couldn't understand why no matter how hard he tried.
Several leaders in the office were trapped inside and did not dare to go home. Their meals were brought in by the big vulture.
It grabbed two cloth bags in its claws and flew over the office to drop them off. Someone was sent below to catch them. They were not released until Xie Wei finished studying the mutant plants in the base.
He discovered a special substance from the mutated plants. After roughly extracting it, he purified it using a distillation device. He added a few drops to a culture dish containing the influenza virus and after seven days of constant temperature cultivation, he found that the virus would avoid these liquids and reproduce.
However, the viruses were not killed, which means that eating mutant plants can provide immunity to these viruses, but it has no therapeutic effect.
But as Xie Wei said before, people without underlying diseases will not die if they get this thing. At most, their lung function will be worse. Of course, it is hard to say whether they will die if they are infected with other viruses.
This discovery was posted on the bulletin board, and the mutant plants were snapped up. Even the rich people who originally looked down on these things now started to eat them obediently.
If you are not sick, take it early to prevent it. If you have already had the flu, take it to prevent future viruses.
Now, in their minds, the functions of these vegetables are no different from those of Isatis root, which can cure all diseases.
Ye Xun had never expected that the wild vegetables he brought back would have these effects. It was really unexpected.
"No wonder the vitality is so strong, it turns out there is a reason." Ye Xun sighed.
If mutant plants have this special substance, what about mutant animals? Will they also exist?
With the mentality of not letting it go, he knocked on Xie Wei's door and told him his guess.
After listening to his guess, Xie Wei fell into deep thought. After a while, he replied, "This possibility cannot be ruled out, but the mutant animals in the base are precious and rare, so it is not appropriate to use them for experiments. Junior brother, do you have any? Lend me one, and I will ask Xiaoyang to catch one and return it to you later."
The lamb is his vulture. When it was young, it was picky about food and difficult to feed. It only liked to eat mutton. In addition, he was too lazy to name it, so this name has been used until now, and the vulture has become accustomed to it.
"That's not necessary. This is for everyone in the base. Wait a minute, I'll go into the house and get one for you."
Xie Wei: "Okay."
Ye Xun walked into the inner room, to the blind spot of his vision, grabbed a rabbit from the space, and walked out the door by holding its ears.
"What a fat rabbit. The dog you raise is also very fat." Xie Wei sighed with a flat tone.
But Ye Xun felt that he heard the other party swallowing saliva slightly when he paused in his words.
He is my only senior brother, and I can’t just beat him to death, so I can only endure it.
"If there are any rabbits left after the experiment, you can eat them yourself. I have plenty of rabbits here."
"Okay, okay. I'll get busy first." He was busy studying how to eat rabbit. He hadn't eaten meat for almost half a year.
Before Ye Xun finished waving his hand, Xie Wei had already closed the door.
Ye Xun: ...Okay.
A few days later, Xie Wei's research results came out. Rabbits also have this substance, but the content is much lower than those in vegetables. "The amount of intake from eating one kilogram of vegetables is equivalent to the intake of five kilograms of rabbit meat. But I personally still recommend eating rabbit meat because it is really delicious."
Speaking of rabbit meat, he couldn't help smacking his lips a few times, "Junior brother, do you have a female rabbit? Come and help me give birth to a litter. I will return you two when the time comes. I won't let you suffer any loss."
Ye Xun went in without saying anything and caught a female rabbit, which was in Xie Wei's arms. "It's estimated that it will give birth this week. You can take it. Don't come to me if you have nothing to do, and don't come if you have something to do."
"Okay. Thank you, Junior Brother. I'll come see you next time."
After saying that, he left without looking back, leaving Ye Xun alone, feeling like he was stuck with a piece of taffy and couldn't get rid of it.
From that day on, Ye Xun didn't see Xie Wei for a long time. However, he received news about the base's bumper vegetable harvest, and Xie Wei's name occasionally appeared.
He improved the new vegetables, and their yield and growth cycle were greatly increased. The yield of the latest batch planted was one-third higher than the previous batch, which made Chen Guoan very happy.
Food is the most important thing for people. With food, people's survival is guaranteed.
But before they were happy for a few days, problems arose again in the base.
After the end of the world, the fertilizer factory was flooded, and the fertilizer could not be used after being soaked in water. Now we use organic fertilizer. The only problem that cannot be avoided is the parasite problem.
This time the base was plagued by roundworms, especially children and the elderly, a group with relatively poor immunity. From the time the infection was discovered, they lost a lot of weight in just three days, and their eyeballs were bulging out.
At this time, people in the wealthy area are fine because they started eating vegetables grown at the base from this month.
Chen Guoan was so worried that his hair was falling out. His family members were also suffering from roundworms, especially his daughter Yu Fei. She had been vomiting and having diarrhea for three days. Her condition was getting worse day by day. She even vomited blood this morning.
Don’t worry about ascariasis in peacetime, but in this end times we are in a shortage of medicine, and any disease, if it becomes serious, can very likely take a person’s life.
After much thought, he had no choice but to ask Ye Xun for help. He had anti-inflammatory drugs and might also have insecticides.
After getting off work at night, he did not go home, but avoided the crowd and went to Ye Xun's house.
It was lunchtime, and apart from Xie Wei who occasionally came to eat, there was no one else. So he thought it was the same this time, and opened the door without any precautions, but what he saw was Chen Guoan, who was hunched over.
