After the fog, I became a birdman

Chapter 16 The Season of Fog

In the past two days, the killing of mutated animals has intensified. The cheetah has been wandering around recently, and the staff of the food distribution point were attacked once.

On the 17th, the employees of the food distribution point were attacked again. One died and two were injured. They had to distribute supplies for seven days at one time, allowing the citizens to wait for the news at home with peace of mind, and it also made the nearby people more and more panicked.

Because they were afraid of being heard by the cheetah, everyone subconsciously played lightly at home, and Su Qing just prepared meals and sent them to Qi Jiang every day, and there was not much extra communication.

In the past few days, Su Qing has been much more diligent than before, running his mind all day long, even after noon.

Because of this, he found that the feathers on the wings became more and more shiny, and the flying time was increasing every day.

If he could fly for a maximum of ten minutes before and had to rest, but now the flight time is almost 10 minutes. Although he needs to replenish more energy, he feels very safe.

On the third night when the staff of the distribution point were evacuated, there was a shrill scream in the community. Su Qing was exercising his mental method, but suddenly he was startled and shivered, and hurried to the balcony to watch.

The sound came from the building behind the square. Su Qing didn't see the owner of the sound, but he heard the panting sound of a beast.

After a while, before Su Qing found out whether the beast was the cheetah or not, a dog barking sounded from another direction, the sound was so loud that Su Qing could hear it even if he didn't pay attention.

He looked out following the sound, and saw a big snake jumping down the road from the opposite building, and then got into the artificial lake. There was thick fog outside, but Su Qing could see the snake swimming to the other side of the lake. , he couldn't help but gasped.

"Wang Wang Wang!"

On the balcony on the 21st floor opposite, a golden retriever yelled at the lake repeatedly, the voice was very fierce, and the big snake left quickly.

The wild beasts on the opposite side of the square panted more heavily. A big cheetah that was more than one meter high and covered in blood walked to the road and looked at the community, and the golden retriever ran into the room and barked even more fiercely.

Its owner is a girl, hugging the golden retriever and coaxing it softly, as if she wants to keep it quiet, but the golden retriever's voice is getting louder and louder.

However, the golden retriever failed to scare off the cheetah this time. This cheetah is bigger than ordinary cheetahs, with fierce eyes, and it is facing the community, or the building where the golden retriever is located. The sound is not as good as the golden retriever, and even ordinary people can hardly hear it. .

"What's the noise!"

A roar sounded from the downstairs of the golden retriever, and a shirtless man went to the balcony and scolded: "I'm keeping people from sleeping! Can you take care of the dog at home!"

Because of this roar, the golden retriever's voice paused, and the cheetah took a few steps forward. Su Qing watched nervously, clenched his hands into fists.

Shan Shan ran to the balcony at some point and circled around Su Qing. He seemed to have sensed the existence of the cheetah belatedly, and moved towards the cheetah fiercely and cutely: "Meow~"

Su Qing was startled, and quickly squatted down to pick up Shanshan. When she looked up, the cheetah had already seen it.

He held his breath nervously, and suddenly there was another dog barking from a building across the road, and the cheetah turned and left.

The golden retriever's voice slowly fell, Su Qing heaved a sigh of relief, hugged Shanshan back, and recalled what happened just now while walking, these mutant animals seemed to be fighting for territory?

If it is said that this is the territory of the golden retriever, the big snake ran in and retreated without fighting, which means that the big snake should not be able to defeat the golden retriever. The cheetah was not frightened by the golden retriever, but took the initiative to provoke it, which means that the cheetah is stronger than the golden retriever but not Too strong?

If this is the calculation, among the mutated pets in the vicinity, the golden retriever should be the strongest, but it is weaker than the cheetah. The golden retriever plus Shanshan and another dog can scare off the cheetah.

From this point of view, Shanshan and that dog should be relatively weak, Su Qing glanced at the ignorant Shanshan, took out a small dried fish and fed it: "Shanshan, you have to follow me to live together .”

No one can beat their main pet, so they can only work harder.

Su Qing sighed deeply, and felt a sense of urgency from the confrontation tonight, but his heart is not good, and staying up late is prone to problems, so he can only fall asleep reluctantly.

The next day, Su Qing went to deliver food to Qi Jiang, but no one answered after knocking on the door for a while, so he had to go back.

Judging from the confrontation last night, his family Shanshan is still very courageous, but it is obviously the kind of courage that a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. Su Qing sat on the sofa and kept feeding Shanshan, hoping that Shanshan would be more powerful. Shanshan was stuffed so full that the little guy didn't dare to get close to him.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Qi Jiang came back from outside with two buckets of water in his hand, Su Qing heard the noise and went out.

"Brother Jiang, is there no water in your house?" Su Qing was a little surprised.

Qi Jiang smiled and shook his head: "Also, you saved a lot for me before."

"then you……"

"I heard a dog barking last night." Qi Jiang put down a bucket, opened the door and walked in, "When the dog barked, I was afraid that it might be a mutant animal, but there was thick fog outside, so I don't know what it was like As soon as the fog cleared at noon, I went to inquire about the news, and sure enough, someone was attacked by mutant animals in the Yujiayuan community last night."

Yujiayuan is the community opposite the square. Su Qing knew about it. Thinking of the screams and the bloody cheetah, he didn't need to think much to know that someone was killed.

Su Qing followed him in, and asked as he walked, "Everyone doesn't go out, what if you encounter mutant animals when you go out?"

"No." Qi Jiang is still a little confident about this. "Mutated animals are much smarter than we imagined. The cameras can operate normally during the day, and mutated animals are also afraid of retaliation, so they usually don't come out during the day."

Therefore, it is actually safe during the day.

Even so, Su Qing also felt that Qi Jiang was too courageous, and couldn't help sighing: "You are so courageous."

Qi Jiang couldn't help laughing: "The bold will starve to death, and the timid will starve to death, and I also heard a very useful piece of news when I went out this time."

Ok?

Seeing his appearance, Su Qing felt that something was wrong, and frowned slightly: "What news?"

"I heard that the army is coming." Qi Jiang lowered his voice, but he didn't sound very expectant, "I heard it from the person who went to fetch water from the artificial lake. I remember that family was working at the food distribution point before. The news should be more precise."

Subconsciously, Su Qing wanted to ask him if it would be a good idea for the army to come, but after thinking about it, he understood Qi Jiang's concerns.

When the mutated animals first appeared, the government said they would arrest them, and the police station tracked them every day.

As a result, there are more and more mutated animals, and the casualties at food distribution points are getting heavier and heavier. Many food distribution points in the city cannot operate normally, and the police alone can no longer guarantee everyone's safety.

The army is a booster, first of all it represents stability, but it also means that the situation is getting worse.

"Do you think the army came here to manage Fengcheng?" Su Qing slightly clenched his hands into fists.

Qi Jiang was noncommittal, and he couldn't say for sure, but judging from the current strategy of food distribution points, it is obvious that there are signs of this, and now the police force in the city alone cannot maintain the law and order of the entire Fengcheng.

If the army is only assisting in the management, it is enough to send some people over to hand over the mutated animals. There is no need to close the food distribution point. If it is not out of control, the government has no need to take such a bad policy.

Although the temporary closure of food distribution points can temporarily ensure the safety of citizens and employees, it is now a significant problem that citizens become panicked and the city government's reassurance is not effective.

It is an exaggeration to say that Fengcheng's defenses are collapsing, but the government's unwise closing of the food distribution point must have considered the reaction of the citizens, and it is impossible to let it go. Therefore, the army's entry into the city should be a certainty, but it will only make the citizens worry for a few days. In such a short time, Fengcheng can't get into chaos.

But if the army came to dominate the management of Fengcheng, the nature would be completely different.

Huaxia has always relied on the government to manage cities at all levels, but now it is suddenly replaced by the army, which means that the environment has undergone tremendous changes. With such a decision, Qi Jiang suspects that other cities have bigger problems. In fact, there are not too many mutated animals, and it is not enough to make the government afraid of this.

All Qi Jiang could think of was that other cities were out of control due to mutated animals or some other reason. If they really became military-managed cities, it must be an order from the central government.

In this case, the situation will be worse.

In short, the stricter Fengcheng's management will be, the greater the external pressure the army will face.

Su Qing was not stupid, he naturally understood this truth, and was a little anxious: "Do you know how many people the army sent here?"

Qi Jiang didn't know either, so he could only shake his head: "Let's take a look first, I'll find a chance to stock up in the next two days."

"stockpile?"

"Well, plan ahead, you don't have to buy it, first look for a way, and see what changes will happen after the army arrives, so let's adapt."

It's too early to think about it now, Su Qing came back to his senses, forced a smile: "By the way, I'll get you food."

Qi Jiang went back to the room and took a telescope out and put it on the table. When Su Qing came over, he pretended not to care and put it in his hand, with a gentle voice: "I changed a telescope, this old one for you to use, so I Can grasp the situation on the other side of the square.”

What about the square?Don't you often go out to inquire about news?Need I tell you more?

Qi Jiang's excuse made him feel that this kind of thing had happened before. Every time Qi Jiang gave him something from the generator and the extra supplies in the second bedroom, he could always explain why, which made him feel quite reasonable. .

But now that I think about it, is it really reasonable?

Just give him the generator because he can't cook?Qi Jiang himself has canned food, even if he doesn't know how to cook, he can eat hot food without any skill at all.

The supplies in the second bedroom, did you really buy so many because of bargaining?

For the first time, Su Qing realized that it was not the first time that Qi Jiang stuffed him with something, and also realized that Qi Jiang really cared about him all the time. Is this a friend?

He had no friends since he was a child, and those friends of his grandfather were only for profit, but he remembered that his grandfather told him before that a real friend will really care about you, and sometimes friends are comparable to family members.

Ever since his grandfather passed away, Su Qing has never tasted the feeling of being cared for. Because he was afraid of being alone, he planted flowers to keep himself busy. Later, he found that the house was still so quiet after planting flowers, so he raised a cat. .

But cats are cute and cute, but they still can't communicate. If I have a friend, I can find someone to chat with in the future.

Before, he simply thought that it was because Qi Jiang people were nice and had the habit of taking care of the weak, so he helped him with work and moving things everywhere, but now that he thought about it carefully, he seemed to be able to find a friend of his own.

There was a faint smile on Su Qing's face, the smile was much more sincere, and she was even more embarrassed to ask for Qi Jiang's things: "I have some at home."

Seeing that he didn't want it, Qi Jiang had to take it back, and smiled: "Then remember to look downstairs when you are at home, so as not to miss any danger."

Su Qing hummed lightly, remembering the extra supplies in the second bedroom, and tentatively asked: "The things you bought for me before are considered too much, right?"

Why are you talking about this again?

Alarm bells rang in Qi Jiang's heart, and he immediately shook his head and retorted: "How could it be? I will still send you supplies?"

"But you sent me a generator and a telescope. Thinking about the supplies before, you should have sent them to me, right?" Although Su Qing used interrogative sentences, he was very sure now.

He also felt that it was not related to him before, and Qi Jiang would not give him anything, but if they were friends, it was not just a neighbor relationship, and naturally it was not considered not related to him.

Qi Jiang thought that he was going to settle accounts, but it seemed that he wanted to draw a line between them. He didn't want to, and quickly retorted: "It's really not what you think, I don't know how to cook, so I gave you the generator. Before that, I always I have a lot of cold food, and I still have a lot of telescopes at home, so I just thought you needed them and gave them away.”

Su Qing's joy was washed away by a basin of cold water, and she closed her eyes to hide the fading smile in her eyes: "Is it really because of this? There is a generator to cook rice directly in the rice cooker, then pour out the can and put it in the rice to steam it. It's a meal, so it's better to keep the telescope and exchange it than to send it out."

"I don't lack a bite of food. Why do I change things? I can still eat delicious food when the generator is in your house. Why just eat canned food?"

Su Qing felt a little disappointed, turned around and went home, the smile on his face disappeared immediately, but his voice didn't change from before: "It turns out that I was thinking too much, you can eat first, I'll go back and see the mountains."

Qi Jiang looked at the back of him leaving, and heaved a sigh of relief, luckily he got round.
