Chapter 156: base

After a fierce battle, the ground was full of corpses. Pei Ran sat in the driver's seat after a short rest and drove with a strong spirit. He remembered hearing Leng Feng's words before that the southern base should not be far away, and it would take a long time to get there.
The long road is dark. With the help of the car lights, you can see the zombies alone in twos and threes. Their eyes are amazingly bright under the lights. Several times Pei Ran intends to run into it directly. As a result, the zombies get out of the way by themselves and growl. Go elsewhere.
Qu Yan sat in the co-pilot, closed his eyes lightly, waited for the vehicle to drive a short distance, and quietly gathered the palm of his right hand. In a place invisible to others, the zombies walking on the roadside suddenly lived together. Shaped, and then exploded into splashes of flesh without warning.
The sound was very soft, overwhelmed by the sound of the speeding car, and blocked the car window firmly.
The tail of Qu Yan's eyes is long, and if they are slightly narrowed, it will be a long and narrow arc. When you open your eyes, the eyes are reflected in the car lights, and they look dark and dark and amazingly bright.
Pei Ran lowered the small half of the car window to breathe. The temperature at night was still a bit cold, and he was idle. He began to talk to Qu Yan in different ways, all trivial things.
Pei Ran asked: "Do you often take first place in school?"
He intuitively felt that Qu Yan's childhood life would not be very happy, and subconsciously avoided the sensitive topic of family.
Qu Yan lowered his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking, covered Pei Ran's right leg with one hand, and tapped his fingertips like a piano. After a while, he responded casually: "Yeah."
He probably felt that the first test was useless, and the pain would not be reduced by half.
"It's amazing," Pei Ran asked again, "Then...what do you like to eat? What do you like to play?"
Qu Yan was at a loss for a moment when he heard the words. He tried hard to recall his youth, trying to find the answer in a pile of pale memories and handing it to Pei Ran, but it was a pity that he could not catch anything.
From the time he was born, before he had time to learn to like, he had already hated the world.
After waiting for a long time without hearing the answer, Pei Ran glanced at him curiously: "No?"
"Yes..."
The ending of this sentence was dragged for a long time, with some inexplicable ambiguity, Qu Yan leaned close to him and whispered in Pei Ran's ear: "But I can't tell you."
If you don’t tell, there’s no answer. Pei Ran didn’t miss the long silence and thinking he had just now, and walked forward against the gleam of dawn from the horizon, until the dawn broke through the thick clouds and the vision in front of him became clear. : "Be a human, you must have something you like."
Pei Ran said: "There must be, so that it is interesting to live."
The unknown wild flowers on the roadside grow alone in the mud. They are humble and small, but they are rare scenery.
Qu Yan leaned on him, always unable to rest, like rubbing and rubbing like a cat, Pei Ran glanced at his finally fleshy cheek, because he was squeezed by leaning on his shoulder, it looked fleshy Yes, with big and dark eyes, looking at one place quietly, inexplicably simple and ignorant.
Pei Ran smiled and said: "Why do you keep rubbing and rubbing, like a cat cub, I don't have one."
A thin silver cross necklace hung around his neck, which was always hidden under the collar, blending with his body temperature. He had a weak sense of existence, so he forgot to take it off. He suddenly remembered that he didn't give Quyan anything. Holding the steering wheel, with one hand wrapped around his neck, he untied the chain.
The car came to a halt slowly.
Pei Ran turned sideways and fished Qu Yan for a little bit. Only when he was held by him, the opponent became docile in an instant, and his ink hair was soft, more like a young cat cub with no attacking power.
The thin silver chain was made to order, with Pei Ran's name engraved on it. At this moment, it was worn on Qu Yan's neck. The small silver cross fell between the young slender and pale collarbone, shining with a shallow light.
Qu Yan was a little happy, his eyes lit up for a moment, his face was no longer the gloomy smile before, he lowered his head and touched the chain, and asked Pei Ran, "Is it for me?"
Pei Ran rubbed his head, laughed lowly, and jokingly said, "Well, for you, cat card."
Qu Yan's fingertips stroked the silver chain carefully, over and over again, hearing the words, remembering the dirty wild cat rolling in the mud in the alley when I was a child, and said displeased: "I am not a cat."
Pei Ran reached out and hugged him in his arms, rubbed the tip of his nose, his voice was so crisp, as if he was interceding, "You are my cat."
Qu Yan took this opportunity to kiss him twice, shaking his toes happily, and quickly compromised: "Okay."
Pei Ran muffled and laughed: "My cats are all chubby, you have to gain weight in the future."
Qu Yan Zhengzai carefully studied his first gift in his life, but didn't pay attention to what he was talking about. Pei Ran could only let him sit back to his original position and continue driving forward.
About half an hour later, the road ahead was no longer rough, and even occasionally encountered a few yellow-faced survivors who wandered around like a beggar. Pei Ran lowered the car window when he saw it, and was about to ask a question. 'S figure pounced, making a muffled noise, and said through the car window: "Sir! Sir! Please, give me a bag of biscuits. Anything is fine. I haven't eaten for several days. Up!"
This man is a middle-aged man with a fishy dirt on his body, and his skinny eye sockets are sunken. He is already a bit mad. He can't lift the window of the car. Pei Ran sees his black and carrion hands quickly stretched out towards him. , Suddenly the cleanliness broke out, and almost jumped from the seat in shock, conditioned to recoil.
Qu Yan quickly caught Pei Ran's upper body and looked out of the car window with a gloomy look. He didn't know what he had done. The middle-aged man suddenly clutched his head, screamed in pain, and crawled out of the car.
This scene fell in the eyes of other vagrants and stopped them from trying to emulate.
Qu Yan stretched out his hand to raise the car window. Seeing Pei Ran's eyes widened before he could react, he couldn't help but curl his lips slightly, stretched his hand and stroked his hair, rubbed his chin against the top of his head, and whispered. :"never mind."
Pei Ran closed his eyes and exhaled the breath that stalked his chest. He couldn't help but burst into a swear word: "Fuck, it scared me to death."
He sat upright, his lower back was hurting. He didn't expect the wanderers to reach such a rapid speed. He immediately stopped trying to find out the news and was about to drive the car forward. Who would have thought but saw a haggard woman Standing on the side of the road, he looked at them hesitantly.
Pei Ran learned well this time. There was only a small air-permeable seam in the window, and she couldn't even get her little finger. The woman walked up anxiously, with a gentle temperament. She was obviously well-educated before the end of life, and bends boldly. , Tapped the car window lightly: "Sir, can I help you?"
Pei Ran glanced at Qu Yan, then looked at the woman, and asked, "Do you know how far the base is from here?"
The woman pointed her finger to the front: "You will be there just around the corner. If you want to enter the base, you need to line up to get the number plate, then do a physical examination, and pay the five-crystal core fee. If you don't have a crystal core, you can use food for it, but you can come from all directions There are many survivors, and I have been waiting here for two days."
Two days?
Pei Ran was a little confused: "What is your number plate?"
The woman said: "There are more than two thousand and six hundred numbers. Soldiers will send them to the registration office. There are special channels for the supernaturalists, but there are more than 700 people in line."
Pei Ran said: "Why are there so many people?"
The woman pulled up the hair that fell from her ears, her lips were dry and cracked: "Scratched by a zombie will cause infection, so the physical examination will be very detailed and time-consuming."
Pei Ran probably understood. He reached for the backpack in the back seat, and passed a bag of biscuits and a bottle of water from the car window. The woman probably did not expect him to be so generous, her eyes widened in surprise, and then she reacted and quickly hid the food. In his arms, he whispered in gratitude: "Thank you, thank you!"
Pei Ran nodded slightly, then went up to the car window, but saw the woman just trotting forward, and then hugged a child who was about five or six years old on the side of the road, unscrewed the mineral water bottle in his arms, and half kneeled on the ground. , Carefully fed to the child.
Pei Ran sighed: "It turns out that he still took the child."
Qu Yan looked at the woman's loving face through the glass. He didn't know what he was thinking of, his complexion became a little bit cold, and various negative emotions flashed, then he sneered lightly, with endless sarcasm at the corners of his lips.
What is the ridicule?
Obviously it is a very touching scene.
But I just can't get happy.
What I didn't get, why others would have...
"Come on, take a drink."
A clear voice suddenly sounded in his ears, Qu Yan raised his eyes and saw the water bottle handed to his lips, his eyes moved upward, and then Pei Ran's smiled face.
"Come on, drink water, I'll feed you," Pei Ran took his shoulders and fed him diligently, "I haven't even served my parents like that."
Qu Yan squinted Pei Ran's inexplicably smiling eyes, and suddenly felt that his thoughts were seen thoroughly by him, rejected him for the first time, and squinted his eyes and said: "I'm not rare."
"You are not rare, I am rare," Pei Ran knew that he was not thirsty, screwed on the bottle cap and said as if to molest others, "The child has his mother distressed, you have me distressed."
Suddenly, Qu Yan felt his heart beating very fast, he couldn't help but pursed his lips, looked at Pei Ran dubiously, and after a while, grabbed the bottle of water from his hand and held it tightly in his palm.
Pei Ran said, "Isn't it rare?"
Qu Yan squeezed the bottle and made no sound.
Pei Ran smiled and touched his head again, and suddenly said a wordless sentence: "It should be like this."
If you want to get angry, get angry, if you want to get upset, get upset. This is what a teenager should look like.
Not far away is the base, a little like a fortress, with a watchtower on it, guarded by soldiers armed with guns, and four exits underneath, with sentry boxes distributed. The staff in white coats set up a row of tables outside to record one by one. According to the information of the survivors, the line was like a long dragon, turning more than three turns, and even more so simply pitching a tent on the lawn near the base, waiting for the call.
Pei Ran had never seen such a battle before, and she was dumbfounded: "My God, when does this have to go..."
Qu Yan put his chin on his shoulder and blinked, "Sit down and I will help you line up."
Pei Ran: "Don't, I'm not such a shameless person."
He parked the car on the side of the road, pulled Qu Yan out of the car and went to get the number plate. The clean dress attracted a lot of people's attention. Pei Ran didn't have any low-key ideas about why he should wear dirty clothes if he had clean clothes.
Standing at the end of the team, there were small soldiers in front of them distributing number plates one by one. Pei Ran stood for a long time, a little annoyed, most of his body was leaning on Qu Yan, looking half-dead.
As time passed, some vagrants came to the team to beg, but most of them were beaten to the ground by some grumpy people. Finally, the soldiers came out to suppress the scene. This controlled the scene.
"This is your number plate, please take it."
"This is your number plate."
The soldier in charge of the registration finally came here. He lowered his head to register his identity information in the booklet, and was about to issue the number plate to Pei Ran. However, when he saw his face, he couldn't help but widened his eyes and looked at him carefully. Once again, I suddenly said in surprise: "Comrade, is that you!"
Hearing the words, Pei Ran lifted his sleepy head from Qu Yan's shoulders, and asked questions from the depths of his soul: "Huh?"
The little soldier straightened his hat and pointed to himself excitedly: "Comrade, you forgot. You met the zombie tide last night. You saved us. I didn't expect you to be alive! It's great!"
Pei Ran suddenly said, "Ah, I remember, you are the soldier under Captain Leng, right?"
