Chapter 179 Return to the End of the World 7
After laughing, the atmosphere between the two became much more harmonious.
Lin Xing said, "Let me take you to look at the public housing first. There have been a lot of new people coming to the base recently, and I guess the public housing supply will be tight soon."
"Okay." Chen Qian also stopped laughing. She picked up the luggage that was forgotten in the corner and said, "I'll find a place to stay first and tell you later."
Linfeng Base is an officially built city. The entire base is divided into the most central administrative area, research institutes, residential areas for senior personnel, inner city areas, and the newly built outer city areas.
Originally, the large open space in the outer city was used to station temporary troops, so that the army could maneuver to support the city walls with insufficient firepower when the zombies besieged the city.
Ever since the largest zombie wave in the vicinity was repelled three months ago, monitoring satellites in space have been able to roughly see that scattered zombies near the base seem to have received some kind of summons and are spontaneously moving southward.
Chen Qian: ………
Damn, the mountain where she used to live seemed to be the only way to go south. No wonder so many zombies suddenly appeared at her doorstep in her last life.
This is really...it's all about fate and time, and it's not up to us.
Therefore, she still cannot be disconnected from the outside world. Otherwise, once there is a major change in the situation, who knows whether she will be swallowed up by the tide of the times without knowing it.
According to satellite predictions, there would be no major zombie hordes near the base in the future. After the zombie horde dissipated, the base's top brass dispatched troops to conduct a zombie cleansing operation in a nearby town. The zombies in the area were basically wiped out, with only a few escaping the net.
Taking into account future construction, the top management decided to send teams to search and rescue survivors of the apocalypse in a radiating pattern from the base to the surrounding areas. Shen Qing's team was one of them.
New outsiders who enter the base will be uniformly assigned to live in public housing in the outer city after being registered in the system. They have one month of free residence rights, during which they can learn about the base in detail and then decide on the industry they want to work in.
After greeting the person in charge of the West District public housing, Lin Xing took Chen Qian to a single room on the 5th floor of West Building 1. The previous resident here was also a woman, and the room was located in the north facing the sun, so the lighting was quite good.
The whole building is about 8 stories high. The outside of the building is bare with almost no trace of green, and the scorched ground has a faint scarlet background.
On the way upstairs, Chen Qian met several neighbors who lived on the same floor. Everyone was in a hurry. They looked at Lin Xing who was following Chen Qian secretly, and their quick glances showed a kind of tacit understanding.
Well, this new little guy has the military's backing.
The single room in the public housing estate is simply furnished. There is a small living room and dining room at the entrance. A concrete wall separates the living room and bedroom. There is a small balcony outside the bedroom window. When the sun is shining, the light of light shines through the glass bed and smudges onto the snow-white walls.
There was a single bed on the window side of the bedroom, with the bare bed board facing the desk. The aisle between the bed and the desk was less than one meter wide.
Chen Qian searched for the only quilt in her luggage, and Lin Xing tactfully made the bed.
Looking at the straight, wrinkle-free sheets on the bed, Chen Qian's eyes widened in surprise: "The military is still training to make square quilts?"
It's the end of the world now, and the military still has internal affairs training?
Lin Xing bent his waist very straight: "It depends on the situation. In critical moments, recruits will of course race against time to train and master hot weapons, such as how to use guns, how to fire artillery, how to drive military trucks and tanks; but if the war is not intense, the army still has housekeeping training. On the one hand, a clean environment is more beneficial to physical health. On the other hand, stacking tofu blocks can exercise the discipline of recruits and improve the organization and combat effectiveness of the army."
"Paying attention to small details, such as stacking tofu cubes, can also improve the endurance and attentiveness of recruits."
The sunlight, like broken gold, scattered on his body, adding a bit of firmness to his still childish face.
Chen Qian was a little curious: "How many years have you been a soldier?"
Lin Xing paused, he stood up, looked around, pulled out a chair from under the desk and sat down.
"Well, my situation is quite special. I was only nine years old when the virus broke out, and I was still in the second grade at that time."
When talking about the second grade, a hint of shyness appeared on his cheerful face.
"The situation was extremely chaotic at the time. I was confused and followed my teachers and classmates around the school hiding. There were more and more monsters in the school. I don't know how long it took, but one day the soldiers drove a truck to rescue us."
"Then I followed the army out of the city in a daze. Because I didn't find my parents, the army first assigned me to the welfare team. This team was full of children like me who had lost their parents."
At this point, his face was somewhat melancholy. "In fact, after waiting for my parents for so many days in school and not seeing them, I guessed that they might never come, or that they came to find me but were attacked by those monsters on the way."
He was extremely terrified at that time. The world changed drastically overnight. The classmates he used to play with and the teachers who were either strict or friendly suddenly opened their bloody mouths to him. It was like a horror movie in a nightmare being played out in reality.
Of course, what happened next was even more terrifying than a horror movie. After all, some of the bloody scenes could not be put on the screen in order to pass the censorship.
"Then I followed the army out of the city, heading west, and then joined the army when I was a little older."
Lin Xing briefly mentioned his experience at the beginning of the apocalypse, but it didn't seem like a very good memory.
"Ah, you were only in the second grade at that time." Chen Qian suddenly spoke, breaking the slightly heavy atmosphere.
"Little boy~" She said in a frivolous and teasing tone.
Lin Xing had a wooden face and fought back, "But judging from your face, you look more like a child, right?"
A heart-wrenching blow.
"Looking at the height, you look more like me."
Get the second kill.
"and……"
"Stop." Chen Qian stopped talking. "Don't you think we are just like kids arguing?"
Lin Xing's expression froze again. How could he become so childish?
He changed the subject uncomfortably: "By the way, what did you want to tell me just now?"
Chen Qian: "Nothing, I'm just a little curious why you keep chasing me."
She was really curious about this.
Lin Xing wondered: "Of course it's because you are strong."
"I'm strong?" Chen Qian was even more puzzled, what was the reason?
Lin Xing carefully worded it: "Well, in this world, there will be no tomorrow after today, so everyone is quite direct in pursuing others. After all, no one can guarantee that they will see the sun tomorrow."
A blush rose from his neck, his eyes flickered, and he didn't dare to look directly into the eyes of the person in front of him: "In the end times, the strong are very popular. When I think about building a family with you, my heart is full of security. And you are very stable, and our three views are also in line, so I will naturally take action when it is time."
"Although you are skinny now, you just need to take care of yourself. I have saved a lot of points before, so it should be easy to fatten you up." He showed his big teeth proudly.
Chen Qian: …
Thank you.
However, in the last days, being willing to share half of my food with you is truly a sincere promise.
