Today's daytime seems a little too quiet.
Yan Chu slept until he woke up naturally, then got up at his own pace, washed his face, brushed his teeth, and prepared breakfast.
It was rare for him to take it easy. He drank a whole bowl of thick and sweet eight-treasure porridge that had been cooked regularly since last night, and even read a newspaper before the end. From the beginning to the end, nothing disturbed him.
Yan Chu didn't even remember how long it had been since he raised Yan Aotian, how long had he had such a comfortable meal.
That ADHD dog never gave him a chance to stop. When he was eating, he either pulled his pants, or flicked his feet with his tongue, wanting to be kissed and hugged for a while.
After satisfying all its requirements, it will be even more troublesome, that stupid dog who wants to eat a few bites of everything it sees will nest in his words and stare at his food, eager to lick a few bites.
After a hard meal, he had to prevent Yan Aotian's saliva from contaminating his food while eating. After a meal, he was physically and mentally exhausted.
It's even better now, there's another Juju, who can act and has a higher rank than Yan Aotian, just dealing with these two big babies every day can consume most of his experience.
But today is different, when Yan Aotian got up in the morning, no vicious dog came to pounce on him. Similarly, Ju Youqian, who was the most jealous, didn't try to enter through the door that couldn't accommodate his size outside the house, and got stuck. The head is meowing at him.
It was obviously a good thing, but Yan Chu felt a little uncomfortable.
"Sure enough, once a person has developed a certain habit, it will become very difficult to change it in a short time."
Yan Chu sighed, and didn't intend to continue the morning exercise he had just thought about. He cleaned up the dishes and went out to see what the two big babies who were very quiet today were doing.
"Meow—"
In the spacious yard, a cat that is rich in oranges occupies a large piece of land. At the moment, its back is facing Yan Chu, and it seems that it does not know that Yan Chu has come out of the room, but it is comfortable to watch its tail flick From its small appearance, it can be seen that it is still a little excited at this time.
"Aww—"
This is Yan Aotian's voice, excited and excited, with the same frequency pitch as when he dismantled the sofa at home. Yan Chu frowned. What the hell are the dogs and cats playing with? They are so excited.
"Meow—"
"Aww—"
With several layers of accompaniment, Yan Chu finally bypassed Ju Youqian's broad and thick back, and saw the poor child who was played by Ju Youqian and Yan Aotian.
A small milk-brown hamster, with its eyes tightly closed and its limbs stiff, was being pushed back and forth by Ju Youqian and Yan Aotian.
It is not appropriate to say that it is small. In fact, this mouse is much bigger than before the end. It seems that it is about the size of a normal cat before.
Yan Chu remembered that the rat tide broke out later, not because the size of the rats surpassed other mutated animals or human weapons, but because they had too many individuals. Thousands of rats the size of cats were enough to kill a The foundations of solid cities rotted away, then submerged human habitat.
In the last life, the first outbreak of rat infestation in the safety area of Beijing was due to the expansion of the living space required by the bigger rats. Therefore, the ground and some walls that were eaten by rats caused many buildings to collapse, and many people died because of this. Less survivors and soldiers.
Later, people in the safe area realized the seriousness of the rat problem and planned to wipe out the rats in the safe area, but at that time, a mouse king with intelligence no less than human beings and with supernatural powers appeared in the group of rats. Under the control of the Mouse King, the most inconspicuous mouse in the past forcefully drove humans out of the safe zone, and then occupied the originally safe and stable Beijing safe zone.
At that time, the original body was busy fighting with his father and brother, thinking how stupid Lin Xiang was to avenge his mother, and never cared about the safety zone until Yan Xiu died, and Yan Guohua didn't recognize him as a son He lost all his blessings, and then he gradually became sober. These family members who were hostile to him, set up such a tight protective shield for him at the beginning of the end, so that even though he was in the end, he still did not feel the slightest danger of the end. .
However, it was precisely because of this that he was expelled by Yan Guohua later, and after being expelled by Yan Guohua, he was shocked, and the original body, who had escaped death, could feel the preciousness of the previous family affection.
Looking at the stiff hamster, which seemed to have been played to death by Ju Youqian and Yan Aotian, Yan Chu wondered if he could make specimens one by one, so that Yan Xiu could realize the danger of the most inconspicuous small animal in the past.
"Aww-"
Seeing the two-legged beast, Ju Youqian immediately withdrew his interest in the little hamster, meowed sweetly, collapsed all of a sudden, and signaled Yan Chu to touch his chin quickly and scratch its chin. abdomen.
"Huluhulu—" Ju Youqian snored happily, staring at Yan Chu without blinking.
"Aww—"
Seeing that the orange has money and competes for favor, Yan Aotian is not to be outdone, it sticks out its tongue and licks Yan Chu's trousers frantically, wishing to wash his feet with saliva.
After a cat and a dog diverted their attention, no one noticed that the mouse, which was pretending to be dead, moved its stiff limbs, and then quietly opened a slit of its eyes, seeing that no one was paying attention to it, it turned over immediately. He came up, rubbed it, and fled out of the yard.
Yan Chu didn't expect that the lifelike mouse that died just now was actually a fake.
This acting skill is even better than his former actor.
When Yan Chu was trying to get Ju Youqian to catch the hamster back, he was very quiet all the time, except when Yan Chu approached, the giant pine, which responded a little, would show its power, shaking one of the branches, stabbing the hamster. A string of pine needles came down and blocked the hamster's fleeing position. The remaining pine needles, not too close or far away, just pierced around its body, firmly fixing it within that range, and moving no.
The bear was so frightened that it peed, didn't it come out to look for food? Why was it first caught by a giant orange as a ball and kicked by a husky? Attacked by a mutated pine tree, there is no such thing as the criminal Tai Sui.
Thinking of his younger brother Xiong Er who was still waiting for him elsewhere, Xiong Da was so wronged that he almost cried.
As the most popular golden bear among hamster species, before the end of the world, Xiong Da and Xiong Er were cute pets carefully raised by humans. After the red moon came, the owner of their pet shop never went back.
All other pets ran away after the mutation came, and Xiong Da and Xiong Er were no exception. The two brothers quickly joined the local rat gang with their eloquent skills. Because it was the largest rat after the mutation, Become the mouse king supported by thousands of mice.
Yesterday, Xiong Da married his thirteenth rat queen. If there were no exceptions, there would be more and more rat queens, passing on its excellent genes from generation to generation.
Xiong Da looked at the pine needles that were firmly stuck into the ground, and he really had no doubt that as long as it dared to move again, the next second, the pine needles would pierce through its body.
Why do you think it is so unlucky? Is it because the rat queens are not good-looking, or the rat cubs are not cute enough, and they are not honest enough to nest in the rat palace that its rat people made for it. the sky.
Xiong Da raised his head and looked at the blue sky. Could it be that the glorious career of the Rat King has just begun and is about to end
Immediately afterwards, it saw a human face appearing in its sight.
What a handsome and handsome face, Xiong Da was so moved that he wanted to cry, and Zhi Zhi screamed and begged this human being to save him.
"Golden Bear?"
Yan Chu bent down, and grabbed the mouse that was waving its little paws, its limbs facing the sky, paralyzed into a mouse cake.
"Squeak."
Xiong Da nodded quickly. From the moment Yan Chu rescued it, he was its god and a distinguished guest of its rat clan.
"Dididi-dididi-"
When Yan Chu was about to study the tearful mouse in his hand, the alarm he had placed around the villa area was triggered, which meant that without his permission, an uninvited guest entered the warning range.
"It's fun, don't play with it and hurt it."
Yan Chu probably guessed who it would be, so he stopped exploring the golden-haired bear in his hand, and threw it to Ju Youqian and Yan Aotian, so that they, these cute creatures, could get along well. .
Xiong Da: ...
It couldn't believe that its newly recognized god handed it over to the cat who was especially good at catching mice, and the dog who was especially good at playing with mice.
what the fuck!
As a golden-haired bear who can speak foreign languages, it is surprisingly angry. Nothing makes the mouse more desperate than trying to escape death.
Ju Youqian and Yan Aotian couldn't understand Xiong Da's despair, they only knew that the owner had re-delivered an interesting toy to them, but the owner said to play carefully, they would definitely cherish this little toy.
*****
"Brother Chu."
When Yan Chu walked outside the villa area, he saw three jeeps driving in. At this moment, those people were getting out of the car to clear the roadblock he had set up before. After seeing him appear, Yan You got out of the car, looking like a brother. The two looked good, and a bear hug came to him.
Yan You's appearance is a bit feminine. This is like his own mother, but he doesn't have the unique heroic spirit of a man from the Yan family. On this point, he feels a little resentful, so in some of his daily behaviors, he will deliberately act boldly. Come straight.
In the past, the original body was relatively close to those people in the second room, and he never resisted Yan You's intimate behavior.
But now that it was Yan Chu, it was naturally different.
"Brother Chu, what's the matter with you?" Yan You looked at the hand that was touching his chest, because of Yan Chu's resistance, he was opening his arms that wanted to hug, and he was stuck in the air, looking a little embarrassed .
Yan You narrowed his eyes and looked Yan Chu up and down.
"Brother Chu, don't you blame your younger brother for coming too late? You are wronged. My brother and I just withdrew to Beijing not long ago. If I was here, not to mention the beginning of the end, it would be when Hongyue was around. , I will do whatever it takes to escort you back to the safe zone."
Yan You didn't notice any difference in Yan Chu, so he changed his expression very well, and said to Yan Chu sincerely.
He knew that Yan Xiu had come to the villa area to look for Yan Chu on the first day after the end of the red moon, but Yan Chu did not go with him at that time. This was also in line with the other party's hostile attitude towards Yan Xiu and his uncle.
But he was different. When Yan Chu had a grudge against Yan Guohua and Lin Xiang, he and his eldest brother had always played the role of confidant brothers, and they had been adding fuel to the fire in the name of consolation. I love them very much, after he appeared, there was a step down, so I should have left with him.
Because Yan Xiu kept the matter of the giant pine a secret, and all those who were present that day were his cronies, the story of a mutated giant pine in the villa area has not spread yet.
And when Yan You came, he saw the too tall and strong pine tree from a distance. He ordered his men to be careful and approached the villa area slowly. He relaxed his vigilance against the giant pine.
In his opinion, Yan Chu must be under a lot of pressure living with such a weird mutated pine tree, and he probably wanted to leave so impatiently.
"I'm fine here." Yan Chu declined Yan You's invitation.
"How can it be good? If you stay here alone, if you encounter a mutant animal one day, you won't have the ability to protect yourself." Yan You frowned, with a nervous expression on his face.
"Is it because of uncle and auntie? Don't worry, when you enter the safe zone, you will live with me. Even if auntie can't tolerate you, our family will protect you."
During the speech, Yan You still did not forget to smear Lin Xiang.
"You go, I'm protected by Aotian, you know, I don't want to see those two people at all, especially that woman."
Yan Chu's face showed a bit of tangled struggle at the right time, and Yan You, who was still suspicious, was relieved all of a sudden.
It seems that the idiot is still the idiot.
"Could it be that Aotian has mutated?"
Yan You also knew that Yan Chu raised a husky, and now there are many mutated animals in the city and in the army. He has also seen a few mutated military dogs that suddenly grew in size by more than ten times, and could bite through steel bars with their mouths open.
It's a pity that these mutated animals are all enlightened, they only obey the orders of the humans they were close to before the mutation, and they don't take the words of other people to heart at all. This made Yan You's thoughts of raising a mutated animal come to naught.
"Um."
Yan Chu didn't know whether Yan Aotian would activate his supernatural ability in a few days, so he just responded to Yan You casually.
Yan You was curious about what Yan Aotian had become, but he was afraid of the giant pine tree that was already very close to him, and he didn't know how Yan Chu managed to live a down-to-earth life near such a mutated plant of.
A strange thought flashed through Yan You's mind, but he didn't think about it.
"This is my contact information. Now the communication in Beijing has been restored. If you encounter any trouble, you can call this number. My brother will come to help you."
Yan You looked like two good brothers, and patted him on the shoulder. This time, Yan Chu didn't resist.
In Yan You's view, this time he is not without gains, at least he knows the mutation of Yan Aotian next to Yan Chu, the enemy's enemy is his friend, now that Yan Chu has such a help, it is very important for Da Fang , there are more headaches.
Watching Yan You and his party go far away, Yan Chu put the barricade knocked down by them back to its original position, and then walked in the direction of his home.
*****
"You said that where Yan Chu lived, there was a mutated giant pine?" Yan Xin asked his younger brother suspiciously.
Yan You was looking down at the phone. He didn't expect that the girlfriend he made before the end was still alive and contacted him through the people below. Yan You, who still had some feelings for Wang Xiuxiu, was thinking about when to meet his girlfriend Pretty little girlfriend.
As for Liu Zhen, she has not yet exploded with supernatural powers, she is just a girl who is the daughter of an ordinary labor camp prisoner, and Yan You doesn't care about it at all. The hypocrisy and obedience these days are already the best he can do.
Facing that vulgar woman again, Yan You was worried that he would vomit it out.
"Hurry up and send someone to investigate those who evacuated from the villa area, and ask them if they saw any strange sights on the day they evacuated from the villa area."
Yan Xin felt that something was wrong. After the end of the world, anyone with a little brain should know how powerful the mutant animals and plants are. Just because Yan Xiu cared about that half-brother, there is no reason to let him stay in such a dangerous situation. Under such circumstances, even if they are kidnapped, they should be kidnapped back.
So Yan Xin subconsciously realized that there might be a problem with the giant pine that he didn't know about.
"Okay, brother."
Yan You also realized that something was wrong that he had noticed just for a moment, so he immediately woke up, turned off his mobile phone, and rushed to the place where the survivors were registered.
*****
"The test results came out. The pine needles contain unknown toxins. If the blood comes into contact with these toxins, it will kill you in three breaths."
Yan Xiu came to his father with the test results of the pine needles, and then spread the list in front of Yan Guohua.
Most of these experiments were obtained from the mutated mice in the laboratory, because these data may not be reliable, and they were tested on two death row prisoners before the end of the day, and the results were that the toxins were transported to the After being inside the human body, within a few breaths, it will cause death.
Such a strong toxin is estimated to be comparable to very few poisonous snakes.
Yan Xiu is not sure whether the toxin contained in its pine needles will upgrade with the evolution of the giant pine, but one thing is certain, once there is no one who can suppress it, allowing such a mutant plant to continue to mutate, it will be A terrible thing.
"At least for now, Ah Chu is safe."
Yan Guohua rubbed his sore and swollen eyes. These days, in order to quickly calm the restlessness in the safe zone, he almost didn't close his eyes for several nights.
In particular, some old guys in the Ministry of Political Affairs are still thinking about power struggles at this time. Just arguing with those idiots who can't tell the priority of things is enough to exhaust Yan Guohua physically and mentally.
"Well, I just don't know if that pine tree will always be kind to my brother."
Yan Xiu couldn't rest assured at all, putting his brother with such an indeterminate time bomb.
Fortunately, he didn't know that his younger brother had raised a giant orange and an unidentified golden silk bear just captured after the giant pine, otherwise he would have passed out in a hurry.
"Yan Xin and Yan You are back. Today, Yan You is out of the city, and I think he went to see Ah Chu."
Yan Guohua was silent for a moment, then said to his son.
After hearing Yan Guohua's words, Yan Xiu also fell silent, and suddenly felt that it would be better for his younger brother to stay outside the safe zone. However, he couldn't let Yan Xin and Yan You harass his precious younger brother any more. No matter what, he had to find something for them. Doing is the thing.
After a period of time, under Yan Chu's deliberate preparations, Yan Guohua and Yan Xiu have followed the vines and found some evidence that can prove that the second wife of the Yan family has been sowing discord in Yan Chu's ears these years, but these evidences are not sufficient enough to completely The second wife of the Yan family was suppressed until he was completely devastated.
Yan Xiu endured the anger in his heart, and watched the second room continue to dance in front of his eyes one by one, looking the same in front of him and his mother, and in front of his younger brother, he didn't know when, he couldn't help it Yes, that group of people will be wiped out immediately.
After all, it's the end of the day, isn't it
Sometimes, Yan Xiuzhen wished that he was not a good person, not a soldier, so that he would not have to abide by those rules and regulations.

"Wang—"
At dawn, Ju Youqian was snoring in his den, sleeping soundly.
Curled up beside it was the little hamster who had been getting thinner and emaciated a lot. Seeing that Ju Youqian seemed to be fast asleep, Xiong Da tiptoed around, wanting to bypass this mountain of meat and run back to the embrace of freedom.
It's a pity that before he ran far, he was caught by the vigilant Ju Youqian by his tail and dragged back.
"Ooooooooooooooooo."
Ju Youqian felt that this little toy was really disobedient, if it wasn't for its beloved Two-legged beast saying that it couldn't be broken, it wanted to be the same as it was before the mutation came, and after playing enough, it would eat it.
Xiong Da met Ju Youqian's eyes, and shrank into a mouse ball in fright, God, please come and take this cat.
"Have money, have you heard the happy voice?"
Yan Chu, who was wearing pajamas, appeared in front of the cat's nest and stopped Ju Youqian's atrocities.
Xiong Daxing opened its eyes happily, and when it met Yan Chu outside the door, he felt that the other person's body seemed to be covered with a layer of golden light.
This is not the first time the other party rescued it. Xiong Da forgot that it was this person who caught it and delivered it to Ju Youqian. Suffering from Stockholm syndrome, he regards Yan Chu as his god.
"Aww-"
Ju Youqian didn't know that his toy coveted his beloved Two-legged animal, so he meowed and responded to Yan Chu.
It seemed to hear it, but it didn't seem to listen.
Thinking of this, Ju Youqian kicked his two hind paws, and Xiong Da, who was wrapped by its tail, was used as a punching bag by it, and kicked hard.
It's all to blame for this mouse that wants to sneak away all the time, otherwise it wouldn't be unable to answer Twolegs' question.
"Wang—"
There was another low moan, so thin and weak that it was barely audible.
Yan Chu's face was a little nervous, and he hurried towards the direction of the sound.
Ju Youqian watched Yan Chu run away, and didn't care about the toys anymore, let go of his tail, and ran wildly in the direction Yan Chu left.
As for Yan Aotian, he was snoring loudly, as for what happened, who cares.
At a place tens of meters away from the old house, Yan Chu saw the weak and happy lying on the ground at a glance.
At this time, its hair was long gone from the smoothness and luster it was when he sent it away, and its eyes also looked dull and dull.
The whole dog was just like Yan Chu's appearance shrouded in despair and loneliness when he saw it for the first time.
"Wang—"
I'm back, this home, do you still welcome me
Looking at Yan Chu walking in front of it happily and expectantly, he asked in a low voice, not so confidently.
"Welcome home."
Yan Chu stepped on his foot and touched its head, without asking why, he said softly.
