poor road [end times]

Chapter 124

This time the heavy snow stopped within two days.

Unlike the sudden blizzard last time, this time the villagers had food, firewood, and coal, and everything was well prepared for the New Year.Therefore, the snow had almost no impact on everyone, but made children such as Li Jiashi very happy.

On New Year's Eve and Lunar New Year's Day, wolf green dogs, little black cats, and big geese braved the wind and snow and continued to patrol the village for three times. This allowed humans to stay at home for the New Year and not be disturbed by the cold current.

It can be said to be quite dedicated.

As a reward, Yang Yiqin decided to commend them at the next meeting.The children in the village heard the news from nowhere, and expressed their willingness to help draw the little red flowers for commendation.

Yang Yiqin agreed without much thought.

There are currently six children under the age of 12 and five teenagers under the age of [-] in the three villages.Now that the village is gradually getting on the right track, Mother Yang is considering returning to her old job, picking up her job as a class teacher and teaching these children.

After a period of rescue, several teachers were rescued from the village. In addition, there are many people with special skills in the village, who can barely teach basic courses and special away games to these minors. Their knowledge system and world outlook have cultivated their strong physical fitness since childhood.

As for how to implement it, it is up to the village head and Yang Yiqin.

Without him, it's just because Yang Yiqin's image in the village is too glorious recently, and in the eyes of the children, he is the guardian of the village.

Considering the reality, they didn't get too immersed in the New Year's atmosphere, and immediately began to discuss the next thing. On the third day of the Lunar New Year, they began to hold the second village mobilization meeting to announce the development direction of the village after the New Year.

Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin knocked on the door one by one, and gave the villagers notebooks and pens for them to take notes.

Although many people may not be able to use it.

All in all, it's formal and friendly.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, the village head’s households swept snow and cleared the main roads of the village; on the third day of the Lunar New Year, the second mobilization meeting officially started.

With his first experience, Yang Yiqin didn't need to prepare any measures to suppress the situation. Just standing there was enough for all the survivors to calm down and collectively turn their attention to him—including those who were not convinced before.

Several children were even more enthusiastic.

Yang Yiqin waved at them and asked them to wait for a while, and the children were really obedient.

Feng Lin handed the prepared A4 paper to Yang Yiqin.

Yang Yiqin took it with a smile.

"Thank you."

Then, he opened the paper and faced the survivors in a circle in front of him.In fact, he had already memorized the content of the meeting. The reason why he had to prepare written things was to post them at the entrance of the temple so that the villagers could watch them repeatedly.

"Happy Chinese New Year everyone." Yang Yiqin smiled, "Today is the second village-wide mobilization meeting in the Sancun Safety Zone, and I am standing here to communicate with you about the future development of our safety zone. I am used to standing here anyway. Now, if you are not used to seeing me, you can look at my face more."

The survivors all laughed.

"I took a closer look here, and found that our Qinqin looks beautiful." The cousin laughed and said loudly, "If there is no partner, before the end of the world, it will be a handsome young man from all over the world, and the little girls are fighting for it." The people who are rushing to see."

Fa Xiao Yang Genbo laughed and echoed: "He has attracted little girls and little boys since elementary school."

Many elders in the village corroborate this statement.

Yang Yiqin was not embarrassed at all, because he was used to being teased by his elders since he was a child, and he had already developed immunity.He just smiled lightly to see everyone joking, and after everyone had laughed, he slowly curled his lips: "Thank you, folks, for your affirmation."

Mother Yang stood below, looking at him angrily and helplessly.

Yang Yiqin blinked at Yang's mother, and then continued: "Okay, let's get down to business, there are three main contents of today's three-village meeting, the first thing I believe people with children have already heard of, that is the temporary school in the village It's about the start of class."

The village keeps talking about this matter repeatedly, so most people have a certain impression. Even those who don't know it at all understand how important education and inheritance are.

It is impossible to make future generations illiterate and numeracy because of the end of the world.

"People in the national security zone have been advocating the importance of education. We can slow down the progress, but we absolutely have to do it." Yang Yiqin's eyes were clear and his tone was firm. "After the world returns to the right track, our younger generations must be able to recognize books. The words on the materials, the inheritance of modern technology and inventions, can allow human civilization to continue.”

At this time, Mother Yang came up and stood beside Yang Yiqin.

She looked at the survivors around her and said, "I believe many people know that Qinqin's father and I were elementary school teachers before retiring. We have accumulated some experience in education and have a lot of textbooks at home, so this temporary school was established by Let's make preparations. There are many former teachers in our village, and they will also participate in this teaching work, striving to make our teaching more extensive."

Aunt Zhang hugged her little granddaughter, and asked a question that everyone cared about: "Does the kid still learn to fight?"

Father Yang is determined: "Study, you must learn! In the future, physical education classes will never be occupied by foreign language and mathematics teachers."

The children were all amused.

Father Yang continued: "In the last days, of course we hope that every minor can have the ability to defend themselves, so that even if our group of people are too old to move in the future, we don't have to worry about them. But this process will definitely be a bit It’s hard work, I hope everyone can understand that when I trained Qinqin to learn martial arts, I was told by his mother every day that I didn’t treat my son as my own.”

"I understand, I definitely understand." Aunt Zhang said first, "It's a little bit harder now, so we can feel more at ease in the future."

At this time, a grandma in her seventies stood up and asked, "The children are listening to the class, can the elderly here follow along?"

Many grandparents in the village did not go to school when they were young, so they are naturally illiterate.

Now they don't need to do many things in the village, but the elderly are always restless. They sweep the streets, water the vegetable garden, and feed the livestock when they have nothing to do.Now that I hear that the children are going to go to school again, I also feel that if I follow along, I may be able to help the people in the village.

As they continue to age, their physical strength will only get worse and worse. If they can be used in other ways, they are worthy of the food they eat every day.

"Of course." Yang's mother nodded, "I also think that the elderly in our village can learn something. Exercise and brain exercise can make people more energetic and youthful."

Then, a few more people asked a few questions, and the matter about the temporary school came to an end.

Yang's mother and Yang's father also returned to their original positions.

Yang Yiqin spoke again: "The second thing is about improving the physical fitness of our whole village."

"Physical fitness?" An old lady asked suspiciously, "Our physical fitness is not bad, no matter it is before or after the end of the world, everyone is a hardworking person."

Yang Yiqin nodded: "My aunt is right. Although our villagers are all elderly, because we often do farm work, our physical fitness is much better than that of our peers. Since the end of the world, except for a few people over the age of 80 or [-] Grandpa and grandma haven’t suffered from any kind of illness yet.” At this point, he changed the subject, “However, this is not far from enough.”

The aunt asked: "Then what should I do? Besides archery, do I also need to learn sword dancing?"

"No, I want everyone to improve their basic skills." Yang Yiqin said with a smile, "So, starting tomorrow, everyone in our village will start learning Wu Qin Xi."

"Wuqinxi?"

"That's right." Yang Yiqin was sure, "Exercising Wu Qin Xi for a long time to strengthen your body is very suitable for regulating everyone's physical fitness."

The village head also helped to explain: "Lao Yang and Lao Zhang are the ones who teach everyone, and Xiao Yang and Xiao Feng will also help. Everyone knows their abilities and they are professionals. They can definitely guide everyone's physical fitness. A new level."

Hearing this, everyone expressed their understanding.

After a while, someone asked again: "What is the third thing?"

Yang Yiqin bent his eyes: "That's a good question, everyone's chatting is in full swing, I was just thinking about how to bring the topic back."

After speaking, he waved to the side.

Seeing his gesture, a big goose squeezed out from the crowd immediately.

"quack!"

Hearing this call, the villagers who were still afraid of the bullying goose all automatically opened a gap, allowing a group of big geese to pass through them.On the back of the village bully goose sits a black cat with its head held high, and it is stretching its paws to direct the village bully goose to spread its big white wings, leading a group of big geese out with a rather majestic posture.

The well-trained goose carried the black cat to Yang Yiqin's side.

Afterwards, another group of majestic wolves and green dogs howled to the sky in a more organized and disciplined manner, and lined up to the other side of Yang Yiqin.

"I believe you are very familiar with these little guys." Yang Yiqin rubbed the head of the black cat, "With the outbreak of the doomsday, many animals have undergone earth-shaking changes. They have become more brave and humane. Under the training, he gradually grew into the guardian of the Sancun safety zone."

As soon as the words fell, the cousin clapped her hands—she did this mainly because of the bad character of the bully Goose, and she was afraid that if she didn't support her, the other party would get angry with a child and would not cooperate with today's meeting.

The children didn't know why, so they also applauded.

They just simply think that these animals are very majestic. The big goose and wolf green dog are much taller than them, and even the black cat is somewhat taller than four-year-old Li Jiashi.

However, with Little Black Cat and Yang Yiqin in charge, the geese obviously had no intention of making trouble.After a period of training, they have begun to be willing to obey the orders of the village chief, Father Yang, Yang Yiqin, Feng Lin and others.

Yang Yiqin counted the number of mutated animals.

After confirming that they were all there, he continued: "In the future, their group will continue to expand until they can spread all over the periphery of every village and become another 'fortress' within our walls."

Li Jiashi shouted childishly: "Okay, okay, Jiajia also wants a big wolf!"

Yang Yiqin chuckled: "You can wait for the next litter of wolf and green dog cubs."

Li Jiashi nodded vigorously: "I will wait patiently!"

Yang Yiqin looked at the children, and continued: "So, the third thing is to hold a commendation meeting for the mutant animals, to thank them for their efforts for the safety of our village in the past few months. The person who will award them is naturally All the children in our village have prepared big red flowers."

As soon as I finished speaking, some children couldn't wait to take out the big red flowers they made.

Yang Yiqin waved to them: "Come on, I'll leave it to you little heroes."

Immediately, six children ran to those big geese and wolf green dogs, and put big red flowers around their necks.The bully goose knew it was a compliment, so he stretched his neck very cooperatively, so that the children who hadn't grown up could hang red flowers on them.

Aunt Biao was a little worried at first, fearing that they would accidentally hurt the children in the village, but they got along well with the children, even if they were pulled by the children's wings, they were indifferent.

Yang Yiqin looked at them with satisfaction.

In fact, when the big geese were patrolling in the snow, Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin went out in the snow, and with the help of the little black cat, they gathered the geese together for a lesson.The big goose was already afraid of the two of them, but with a little education, they could become quite obedient.

They hope that through the close contact between children and mutant animals, the relationship between survivors and animals will be deepened, so that mutant animals will be more willing to help humans, and human beings will look at mutant animals from a different perspective.

Yang Yiqin had a hunch that as time went by, mutant animals would definitely become trustworthy companions for humans—especially for a small safe zone like them.

He hopes to build this sense of trust from an early age.

Compared with the unpredictability of the big goose, the wolf green dog and the little black cat are very reassuring. Whenever a child hangs a big red flower around their necks, they will lower their heads and rub their cheeks affectionately.

Seeing this, the adults all showed gratified smiles.

After the second meeting, the village got busy.

One is because of the temporary school and physical fitness; the other is that after the heavy snowfall, the temperature gradually rises, and spring is coming.

When spring comes, the most intuitive feeling for everyone is not only the melting ice, but also the mutated animals and zombie groups that often appear outside the village.Originally, there were few wild animals in the location of the village, but after the beginning of spring, weasels, bison and sheep often came from nowhere and attacked the outer wall of the village.

Fortunately, their defenses are all made of concrete. The thickness of the concrete wall is astonishing. There are also two rings of wire mesh for blocking and a trap trench outside, which can often trap them outside the village's defense line.

In the end, this time the mutated animals became extra meals for the villagers.

In addition, they also learned how to make fur at an unimaginable speed.

Most of the zombies appeared in Qiancun where Uncle Zhang lived, and there were often zombies wandering along the wide and flat national road all the way to the vicinity of Qiancun.Then they will smell the human breath again, fall into the farmland one after another from the national road, and grope along the farmland to the trap set up by the former village.

This makes the villagers always have to be very careful when harvesting wild animals, so as not to be bitten and scratched by the zombies that fell into the pit.

Batch after batch of zombies arrived, causing panic in the village. In order to help Qiancun eliminate these unstable factors, Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin temporarily lived in the guest room of Zhang Bo's house.

On this day, Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin boarded the roof again, looking at the farmland and the national road not far away.

Feng Lin put down the binoculars: "Six more zombies came running along the road from the north."

Yang Yiqin looked in the direction he said, and asked, "How's the speed?"

Feng Lin replied: "Same as the previous two days, the speed is obviously faster than last year."

After the spring warmed and the snow thawed, the zombies gradually got rid of the frozen state and became a little more flexible.The alternation of cold and warm makes their appearance even more unbearable to look at directly. Compared with the current appearance of rotting and smelling with the temperature, the frozen blue skin in winter is more acceptable.

But that's the most important thing.

Because when Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin were cleaning up the zombies, they found that their speed was a little faster than last year.Afterwards, the two who observed the zombie carefully found that even the limbs and joints of the zombie became more flexible.

Fortunately, so far, there are no zombies that can run past humans, and their flexibility is only relative to the previous ones, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

"I hope it can be limited to this." Yang Yiqin frowned and smiled bitterly, "Does zombies also have a new year's new atmosphere?"

Feng Lin shook his head: "Probably not. The weather is not too warm now. If the zombie's body rots excessively, even if it becomes more flexible than before, the rotten bones and muscles will not allow them to make complicated movements."

"What if the virus changes their bodies?" Yang Yiqin had to consider things in the worst direction, "Dr. Liang said that the activity of your and my special cells is still not balanced, and is still changing. Changing our physical constitution. Just as humans and animals change due to viruses, viruses in zombies may also be able to change their body structure."

It is currently known that if a human is infected with a zombie virus, the virus will attack every organ in the body until it spreads to the brain, defeats and controls the human brain, and eliminates all the intelligent features of a human being, making it a human Monsters that only know hunger and eating.

But after the defeat, will there be any rebuilding behavior...

It's a mystery.

Hearing this, Feng Lin pondered for a moment, then suggested, "How many zombies should be captured alive?"

Yang Yiqin was slightly taken aback, and asked, "Then cut open the flesh of the zombies to check their muscles and bones?"

Feng Lin nodded.

He wasn't joking, he was really thinking about this possibility.

He and Yang Yiqin used to often enter the laboratory of the Survivor Base in Beishi to provide experimental materials to researchers.Occasionally, they will help them subdue zombies, record experimental data, and conduct simple simulation experiments.

Therefore, the two have a lot of experience in how to do experimental research.

Yang Yiqin thought about it and felt that this method was feasible, but the crux of the problem was how to get the villagers to accept their approach.

After all, since we want to study and dissect zombies, we must study "live" zombies.Because once the zombie's brain is broken down and stops moving, the body will undergo some changes, which will definitely affect the results of their investigation.

Capture zombies alive into the village, and the villagers may panic because of it.

Thinking of this, Yang Yiqin took out the intercom device: "The wind and snow have stopped, and the signal is still smooth. We can try to contact Han Wenliang first to see if they have noticed this."

Feng Lin nodded: "Then contact first, if there is no answer—" He paused, then raised his finger to the six zombies that jumped into the farmland, "I'll capture those zombies alive first."

At worst, he can dissect it directly in the farmland.

If there are other zombies or animals affecting his movements, he will dissect these zombies while killing the things that affect him.

But he didn't say these words, he didn't want to be the person who worried Yang Yiqin, he just wanted to solve the problem that Yang Yiqin was worried about.

The intercom equipment only rang a few times, and there were "Zi" and "Zi" current sounds.

Yang Yiqin sighed softly: "The signal is still not working."

The location of their village is remote, and the signal before the end of the world can only be said to be quite average. Now, once there is a drastic change in the weather, the signal will become even worse.

This made Yang Yiqin want to repair the base station himself.

Feng Lin raised the axe: "I'll go get the zombies back."

"Wait a minute." Yang Yiqin reached out and grabbed his wrist in time, "How do I do it?"

Feng Lin answered truthfully: "Cut off the jaw and fingers."

Yang Yiqin was actually persuaded.

But in any case, they still have to consider other people's feelings.

Although the villagers are now accustomed to following Yang Yiqin's opinions, this does not mean that he can do whatever he wants and decide the future of the village at will.Rather, it is precisely because everyone trusts him too much that he must be more cautious about everything in the village, so as to live up to everyone's trust.

He doesn't think he is a leader or anything like that, but he just shoulders the responsibility of cohesive and uniting everyone, and organizes everyone to pay attention to the future of the village.

So Feng Lin made his second suggestion: "I'll cut off the jaws and fingers of the zombies first, then directly cut up their body tissues for research, and come back quickly after I'm done."

"You can try it." Yang Yiqin said, "Well, I'll go over and deal with the zombies, please defend yourself."

Of course, Feng Lin couldn't put him in a dangerous situation, so he raised his hand to show the ax that had just been sharpened.

"I've got my weapon ready."

Yang Yiqin raised the corners of his lips: "It doesn't matter, switching to a pistol doesn't waste much time. Besides, I'm more flexible than you, so I'm more suitable for this type of mission. Wait until you are more agile than me before you consider grabbing the mission." Bar."

Feng Lin pursed his lips and refused to back down.

Just at this time, Uncle Zhang climbed up to the roof of the watchtower and asked them inexplicably, "What are you talking about? Are you not paying attention to the six zombies in the distance?"

The eyes of Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin fell on him at the same time.

Uncle Zhang was confused by their strange eyes: "...what's wrong?"

"Tube."

The two spoke in unison at first, and then looked at each other and smiled.

Zhang Bo was even more puzzled.

The next moment, I heard Yang Yiqin say: "Uncle Zhang came just in time, we are going to do a small experiment, please help me, Uncle Zhang."

"Just tell me, what can I do for you?"

"Help us see the dangers around us." Yang Yiqin said with a smile, "Feng Lin and I plan to conduct a little harmless experiment on zombies."

The author has something to say:
