Chapter 72： Chapter 72

Liu Fangzhou stood in this survivor base that had hit half his name, and felt like he was the first Liu Liu to enter the Grand View Garden.

Clean and tidy streets, normally open shops, brisk pedestrians, green belts on both sides of the road are not only trimmed neatly, but the lush green meadows are also full of unknown wild flowers.

Look, a duck is playing with a group of ducklings in the shade, and a few chickens are pulling the turf not far away to look for bugs. Oh, two sheep are drilled under the bushes.

Is this really an eschatology?

Compared to him, Chen Nan has a kind of feeling that it is almost three months before the virus outbreak. The country and even the world are going through the cruel test of the last days. However, this hot spring town and the one he came to more than a year ago Compared to time, it seems that nothing has changed.

No, there are still things that have not changed the number of green plants in the past, the streets on the old days are not as clean and beautiful as before, and the faces of former residents are not as full of leisure and comfort as they are now, as if there is nothing to worry about.

Shen Shian, holding the child, should first walk along the street. As a well-known hot spring spot, the buildings in the county are mostly two-story small buildings with a uniform style, with soft and tranquil colors and an obvious rural style.

At dusk, the survivors here seem to have just finished their day's work. Many people are sitting on the rattan chairs in the corridor for a cool drink. There is a small table in front of them, and a pot of herbal tea on the table, or a few A side dish and a bottle of beer, occasionally facing the eyes of Shen Shi'an and others, they raised a glass and laughed and said "Welcome to the Ark"

Tao Yuan walked to Shen Shi'an's side and lowered his voice. "They didn't check our backpack and didn't ask us to isolate."

"Well." Shen Shi'an responded softly. Entering this base called "Noah's Ark" is much easier than imagined. Just ask them what to do here and open the city gate for release. Friendship is also suggested to outsiders to stay at the hot spring hotel located in the center of the county. What this means is not difficult to guess. "Some of the survivors responsible for defending the city can detect whether outsiders carry a zombie virus."

There are more than 2,000 abilities in the county seat, and it is not surprising that any abilities have evolved.

Not only was entering the city very smooth, but after entering, I also felt the hospitality of the residents in the city. Almost all the pedestrians who met face to face would smile and greet them. They were particularly enthusiastic about Shen Shi'an's arms. Touch the small face and pull the small hand. After being stopped by Shen Shi'an in time, he didn't mind, and passed various snacks to Shen Xun's hands. "Children are the hope of the new era. Welcome to the Ark."

This sentence Liu Fangzhou just started to listen to awkwardness. I felt that people were calling his name in all directions. I was embarrassed when I heard it a lot. I got used to it after a few times. Those who can, we almost see. "

"No ordinary survivor"

"There aren't many on this street anyway." There are colorful light clusters everywhere in the induction range, and Liu Fangzhou couldn't help but sigh, "If Zhou Jianghai had the life to come to such a place, it wouldn't be happy to go crazy." Imagine Let's take a look at the scene where more than 2,000 abilities were secretly copied into his hands, and immediately added "Fortunately, he died early."

Shen Shi'an calmly glanced over the smiley faces on both sides of the road, whispering "What are the power levels of these people"

"According to the brightness and size of the light group, there are strong and weak, the strongest is not as strong as you, and the weakest is not as weak as Nange."

Chen Nan "" knee pain.

"Well." Liu Fangzhou suddenly whispered, leaned back to Shen Shi'an, and his voice was even lower. "Brother Shen, if there are two light groups on the same person, what is different from the situation of Nan brother and his brother, Both light groups refer to living people. "

Shen Shi'an thought about "men and women"

"Girl," Liu Fangzhou responded, "that is, pregnant." It turned out that his power could still be used as a b-super.

Pregnant Chen Nan asked "months"

Liu Fangzhoumu turned his face and looked at him "" You are embarrassing brother.

According to Liu Fangzhou's guidance, Shen Shi'an quickly glanced at a female probationer who was suspected of being pregnant and wore less clothes in the summer. It was obvious that the lower abdomen was still flat. "No more than four months."

Chen Nan calculated in her heart that it was almost three months from the outbreak of the virus. If she was pregnant before the last days, it can only be said that after the outbreak of the virus, the mortality of women, children, and the elderly is much higher than that due to physical fitness. Adult men and women who are pregnant are even more at risk. Regardless of the nutritional problems of the fetus and the ability of the pregnant woman to move during pregnancy, childbirth itself is a very dangerous thing. It is even more so when medical conditions collapse across the board. in this way. So if you are pregnant after the last days, do n’t you die, even if you successfully gave birth to a child, is this a world suitable for babies?

Shen Shi'an frowned, what seemed to come to mind, and asked Liu Fangzhou "what color is the light group representing the fetus?"

"White, all white." Symbolizes the color of ordinary survivors.

Shen Shi'an stopped talking. Liu Fangzhou didn't understand what he meant by asking this, but it was not easy for the pedestrians to ask about it. As I walked around and expanded the sensing range, I didn't sense anything special, but I remembered an important thing. I quickly took out a bottle of toilet water spray from my backpack with a pat on my head, sprayed myself from head to toe, Began spraying on others "Hurry up, the sun has set, and it will be too late without spraying."

After encountering the mutant mosquito swarm, the first thing to do every day after the sun goes down is this. Although not sure how much it can play, it is better than nothing. According to Liu Fangzhou's words, "I don't need toilet water to smoke the mosquitoes. I just need that compared to us, mutant mosquitoes prefer those without spray water."

Shen Xun was sneezed and sneezed several times, but rarely got angry. He put his nose against Shen Shi'an's neck and sucked hard. "I won't let mosquitoes bite An An."

Shen Shian shot his little cricket, "I won't let mosquitoes bite you."

After spraying the toilet water, everyone has come to the corner of the street. After all, Chen Nan has been here once. He is familiar with other people here and walks in the front. "I remember turning this corner is the largest hot spring hotel in the city. The shape of the hotel is very It ’s distinctive. It ’s called Golden Phoenix. Why did you stop? ”

Chen Nan was puzzled, turned his eyes and turned his head to a place less than two hundred meters away, and a hotel like no one remembered stood in the dusk.

The hotel is a western-style domed palace style, with a total of five floors. Compared with the famous five-star hotels, the hotel must have a clear gap, but it is truly magnificent in such a small county.

A golden phoenix stands on the highest dome, spreading its wings to be alive, and the feathers and tail are covered with small colored lights.

At this time, the Phoenix, like the entire hotel, was brightly lit and dazzling in the increasingly dim twilight.

"Bed," Liu Fangzhou walked into the hotel lobby first, and was amazed at the marble floor and the bright dazzling crystal chandeliers above his head. "There is electricity, and the air conditioner is on. How do they do it?" of"

There were more than one entrance to the city wall, and outsiders who walked into the hotel at this time were not only Shen Shi'an and his party. There were three people in front of them, obviously accompanied by men, all tall, short and fat, carrying backpacks like them. Just after entering the gate, a waiter greeted the three of them. "Welcome to the Ark. May I ask what the three gentlemen need?"

Another waiter was stopped by Shen Shi'an and others when he was about to go. "These guests gave me."

The waiter stopped immediately and looked down, respectfully "is the manager."

The man was slender, wearing a black and elegant black suit with an off-white bow tie tied in the center of the neckline, and his hair was meticulously combed. His eyes paused for a moment on Shen Shi'an's face, crossed the long sword behind him, and then reached out to Liu Fangzhou, who was standing in front, "Welcome to the Ark."

Liu Fangzhou didn't dare to eat and eat, and Zhou Jianghai didn't die in vain.

The other party didn't mind, withdrew his hands freely, and introduced himself with a smile. "Yang Xueqiu is the lobby manager of the Golden Phoenix Hotel and the first officer of the Ark."

Liu Fangzhou what is mine

Seems to see the doubts of everyone, Yang Xueqiu explained, "In order to facilitate management, the division of personnel and duties in the ark follows the setting on the general ship."

Shen Shian "That means you have a captain"

"Yes." Yang Xueqiu nodded.

Several people raised their ears and waited for the following, but found that the chief officer did not continue to say anything at all, and turned the topic back. "I don't know if there is anything I can do for the gentlemen."

Shen Shi'an did not plan to get any internal information from the other party. "We plan to rest here for one night. Can we open the room?"

"Of course, if you become an Ark resident, the hotel is free of charge. Do you have any intentions?"

Shen Shi'an shook his head. "We are just passing by and leave tomorrow morning."

"That was the case." Yang Xueqiu made a "please" gesture, led the five of them to the service counter, and took out a pamphlet from the counter. Yes, the rooms are divided into five levels. The prices are different for different levels, and the services are different. Several gentlemen can see which one is needed. "

Shen Shi'an took the booklet, and Chen Nan and others gathered around. There are only five sheets of paper in the booklet, which represent five rooms with different levels of water and electricity, three rooms with water and electricity, and water with electricity Standard room, double bed room with water and electricity, and luxurious suite with water and electricity. Each sheet of room is marked with a number behind the detailed description, ranging from one to twenty.

The tall and short **** is not far away, and also holds a booklet in their hands. Visual inspection is the same thing as Shen Shi'an and others.

Shen Shi'an asked, "These numbers represent the cost of the room."

"Yes," said Yang Xueqiu. "However, please note that the hotel charges according to the number of people rather than the room. These figures refer to single expenses, which means that even if you only have one room, you still need to pay four Personal expenses are free for children. "

Shen Shian asked "How to pay"

Yang Xueqiu said, "This hotel accepts zombies and nuclear materials for payment. In order to facilitate the calculation, the materials need to be converted into crystals and then paid." After finishing speaking, I took out a booklet, which is more than the first one. It is much thicker. "This is the exchange rate of various acceptable materials and crystal nuclei in the ark. Several gentlemen can take a closer look."

Shen Shian opened the second booklet, which listed hundreds of materials from high to low according to the convertible crystal nuclei. Most of the drugs in the front are drugs, gasoline, weapons, etc., which are of high value, and there are no less than 20. In addition, the value of seeds or plants of various vegetables and fruits is also high, and the last is the end. Everything else needed for survival varies in value.

Surprisingly, Shen Shian expected that the value of food in this booklet can only be placed at the bottom. Five packets of puffed food can be exchanged for a crystal nucleus. The bread and instant noodles are slightly higher, and the meat products are higher. , But the unit price did not exceed five crystal nuclei. Instead, it is a cigarette, and each pack can be changed to ten to fifteen crystal nuclei depending on the brand and preservation status.

There is a lot of information available in this booklet.

First, there is no shortage of food in Noah's Ark. Second, there are many botanical abilities in the ark.

What Shen Shi'an cares about most is that there are many types of drugs listed here, but none are used to prevent mosquito bites or swelling and itching. There are no mosquito repellents such as toilet water.

The trio next to them has begun to exchange for crystal nuclei, and their materials seem to be very sufficient. One shot is the three most urgent anti-inflammatory drugs. Seeing that Shen Shi'an had not made a decision, Yang Xueqiu pointed at the thorn stick behind Chen Nan and Liu Fangzhou and said, "If several gentlemen are willing to exchange this weapon for exchange, I can give the price of twenty crystal nuclei. . "

Shen Shi'an glanced at him, thinking of the hundreds of aloe thorns that had been pulled out in the space but had not found any usefulness, and the thousands of aloe thorns that had not been removed from the mutant aloe, shaking his head slightly sadly.

He has enough supplies for the crystal nucleus, but what should be exchanged for it is a question that requires careful consideration.

"Give us a suite," Shen Shi'an said.

"One?" Yang Xueqiu confirmed, "One suite has two separate bedrooms. Several gentlemen may live in a crowded place. Because this hotel is charged according to the number of people, the price for you to open a suite and two suites is actually Same, do you need to change to two? "

"No, just one."

"Okay, five customers. Children are free. Twenty crystal nuclei per person for a total of eighty crystal nuclei."

Shen Shian took out a cigarette from his backpack "How many crystal nuclei can this be exchanged for?"

The cigarettes were taken from the base of the tobacco factory. The packaging was tight and not yet unpacked. Yang Xueqiu took it and checked it carefully. It seemed a little pleasantly surprised. Want to redeem it all? "

Shen Shi'an hasn't spoken yet, the slightly fatter in the trio next to him suddenly made a move together, hehe laughed twice "That little brother, let me discuss with you whether your room rate is 80 crystals, That ’s enough to exchange six packs of cigarettes. Let me give you the remaining four packs. I ’ll exchange the supplies with you. If you want something, say it directly and make sure you do n’t lose money. The old smoke gun has been cold for more than a month without smoking a cigarette, and the smoke bugs have almost killed me. Brother, if you save your life, help out. "

The tall man snorted "How good it is to quit smoking."

Uncle Fat waved his hand. "What do you know, there can be several hobbies in life, all of them are not so comfortable in the last days, let's say this is not exactly what happened."

Turning his head, he continued to blink and looked at Shen Shi'an with longing and hope.

Shen Shi'an thought for a while, and nodded, "Can be changed. Do you have toilet water or ointment for swelling and itching?"

Uncle Fat for a while, "Hua Lo Shui Antipruritic Ointment", took the backpack down and rummaged for a while. "You wait a moment, I'm not sure if I haven't. I have forgotten a few mosquitoes this year until now, I remember Last time it seemed like I put away two bottles. "

Liu Fangzhou opened his mouth and seemed to want to say something. After receiving Shen Shi'an's gaze, he swallowed back immediately. Uncle Fat turned his back on them, and they could not see what was in the other's backpack from their perspective, but after a few minutes, Uncle Fat suddenly carried the bag with excitement and stood up. "I found it," turned around and turned the two bottles of sixd Pass it to Shen Shi'an "I said there are two bottles, this brand is good, I have used this in previous years, but I don't know why this year, I haven't seen any mosquitoes"

"Ah, ah, ah, ah, where?" Liu Fangzhou scrambled.

Uncle Fat jumped up and took a slap. "Say Cao Cao Cao Cao. I just wanted to say that I haven't seen a mosquito this year, so I killed one." He looked up and saw Liu Fangzhou hiding behind Shen Shian. The face of the enemy's small white face was very puzzled. "What's wrong with this child, isn't it just a mosquito?"

Shen Shi'an opened his eyes and said nonsense, "It's okay, he's allergic to mosquitoes." He glanced at the undead normal mosquito corpse in the palm of Uncle Fat, and looked at Chen Nan Taoyuan.

"I'll just say so." Uncle Fat looked at the two bottles of sixd in Shen Shi'an's hand. "It's definitely not enough to change with you. Little brother, what can you wear without eating? Most I have. "

In the end, Shen Shi'an exchanged four packs of cigarettes from Uncle Fat for two bottles of toilet water and two boxes of anti-inflammatory drugs. According to the exchange rate given by the hotel, Shen Shi'an slightly took some advantage, but Uncle Fat obviously didn't think so. The cigarette smoked and took a deep breath, and spit it out intoxicatedly after brewing for a long while, and the expression seemed to be able to rise to the sky immediately. See where Shen Shi'an and his party feel pleasing "Thank you brother"

After paying the nucleus, the lobby manager Yang Xueqiu handed a room card to Shen Shi'an, "room number 8001, take the elevator to the fourth floor, the first one on the left end."

Uncle Fat's trio also asked for a suite, room number 8005, which was diagonally opposite Shen Shi'an and others.

"Check out at noon every day at 12 o'clock. After 12 o'clock, you need to pay for an extra day's accommodation; outdoor and indoor hot springs can be soaked normally, but because the temperature is too high, it is recommended to control the hot spring time to prevent heat stroke; phone in the room Ca n’t use it, but there are rattles beside the bed in the suite. If there is any need for some gentlemen to ring the bell directly, I hope you all have a good time. This hotel is committed to the highest quality service and dedicated to meet all the needs of customers. "

Yang Xueqiu has been sending Shen Shi'an and others to the elevator entrance. "The suite includes dinner service. The restaurant is on the second floor. Dinner time starts from 6 o'clock. There will be a special performance tonight, and also prepared unexpected surprises for several gentlemen. Everyone is welcome to join. "

After entering the elevator, Chen Nan suddenly remembered one thing: "Yes, can the wishing pool behind the rockery still be used?"

Yang Xueqiu, who has always been polite, flashes of confusion "what"

"It's the heart-shaped wishing pool behind the rockery," Chen Nan said before the elevator door was closed. Frowning, I felt a little strange. "Why didn't this lobby manager know about the wishing pool? The hotel staff told me specifically when I came last time, saying that it was particularly effective. Many people in the county like to make a wish. I went with the provincial team. The teammates also went and wished to get a good result in another game, and later they won the championship. "

Tao Yuandao "It's normal if he doesn't know. The virus has been out for three months. He may not be the lobby manager here before the last days, maybe he is not a local resident."

Chen Nan froze, then smiled. "Yeah. This hotel is so well maintained, I almost forgot it was in the last days."

After returning to the room to drop things, Shen Shi'an actually reclaimed the space, and the five came to the restaurant at dinner. One is to see if you can get more information. The other is that in the last days of food shortages, having free dinner but not eating is always prone to suspicion.

The restaurant is large, with a large stage in front and dozens of tables facing the stage. More people came to the restaurant than Shen Shi'an expected. Looking at the clothes and mental appearance, they should be outsiders who have just come here or have lived here for several days.

Shen Shi'an and others sat at a table alone, and the tall and short trio came. Uncle Fat said hello to Shen Shi'an and saw him on the right hand side. The dinner was pushed by the waiter's dining cart. Each person included a large bowl of rice, a roasted potato with very little meat, a vegetarian fried bean, and a vegetable soup. It is a minimal meal before the end of the world, but after the end of the world, it is extremely rare to be able to eat such a decent meal, and it is almost tearful.

Of course not including Shen Shian and others.

The emotions in Tao Yuan and Chen Nan's eyes were a little subtle, and Liu Fangzhou was obviously disappointed. By Shen Xun, that was a complete disgust.

what.

After confirming that there was no problem with the meal, Shen Shi'an tapped on the table with his knuckles "to eat. Nothing left."

The second sentence is to Shen Xun.

The child held the bowl reluctantly.

Shen Shi'an glanced around secretly, and found that in addition to the few in front of him, the tall and short **** did not seem to be very satisfied.

Just as everyone was eating, the lights gradually dimmed, the curtain opened on the stage, and Yang Xueqiu's performance began.

It was a stage play, and Liu Fangzhou quickly recognized "Ah Noah's Ark Story"

Anyone who has received nine years of compulsory teaching, even if they do not know the allusions of "Noah's Ark" in detail, most of them have heard a little.

Only the dog spirits were present and didn't know what that was.

Covered by the dim light, quietly poured a plate of vegetarian fried beans into Liu Fangzhou's bowl, and at the same time approached Shen Shi'an and whispered "An'an, what is Noah's Ark"

"A story recorded in the Bible. God felt that mankind was too corrupt and sinful, and regretted the creation of man, and decided to use the flood to destroy all living things in the world. Of the sinful people, only Noah was a perfect good man and never did evil Therefore, God chose Noah and his family as the seeds of the new humanity, and asked Noah to build a boat and take his family and a part of the birds and beasts to the boat to avoid the flood. After the flood, only the creatures on the boat survived. This ship is called Noah's Ark. "

After Shen Shi'an finished speaking, he put his share of beans in front of the children. "Eat all, and I will make you a full vegetarian meal with less one."

The dog pouts and eats his face in disgust.

The content of the stage play is simple and easy to understand. The theme to be expressed is even more obvious. Only those who are on the boat can survive and continue in the new world after the last days.

In this way, it is easy to understand why this base was named after "Noah's Ark".

"This is too middle school." Tucao from the middle school boy Liu Fangzhou.

China is an atheistic country. Most citizens thrive under the guidance of Marx's dialectical materialism. The religious atmosphere is extremely weak. For 99% of the people, the gods and gods of all walks of life are all true only when they encounter something and ask for it. And the survivors of the last days have too many things to ask of the fairies.

People always find something to trust in panic and despair, or to rationalize what happened to them as much as possible. Why did the zombie virus erupt? Who can be sure, this is not because God is too disappointed with humans, so A "flood" catastrophe

There are too many people, and the atmosphere of the stage play is just right. Some people will believe it.

But there are also many unbelievers.

Uncle Fat's voice can be heard throughout the restaurant. "I have a question. In mythology, God chose Noah and his family as the seeds of new humans. His family includes his wife, his son, and I remember him. Daughter-in-law, how can a few people want to be inbred as new human seeds, can the child born?

The atmosphere rendered by the stage play suddenly changed, and the topic quickly turned to landslides such as "the harmfulness of inbreeding", "the old immortal gods in Western European mythology", "Noah's Ark or Zheng He's voyage to the West". Going out of hand.

Liu Fangzhou gathered together in the past for a moment of enthusiastic discussion and then felt boring. "The show is all over. The surprise that Manager Yang said"

As soon as the words came down, the waiter pushed in the dining car again. This time the dining car was loaded with not just meals, but a large watermelon with a weight of ten pounds each. Chen Nan was close, and the explorer touched "the cold."

Oh yeah, the atmosphere heated up instantly.

As soon as the crackling sound of the melon peel cracked, the sweet melon fragrance floated to the restaurant at once. There are two watermelons in total, and each person is only assigned a small piece because of the large number, but the waiter said that they can be purchased separately with crystal nuclei, two crystal nuclei for one pound.

Those who can enter the restaurant are all set up with double-bed rooms and above. In other words, they are not so bad as nuclei or supplies, so someone immediately signed up for melon, and Uncle Fat ordered three in one go.

Shen Shi'an didn't order. He remembered that there were still several bags of watermelon seeds in the space and he forgot to plant them.

When the crowd was intoxicated by the sweet taste of iced watermelon, the lights were dimmed again. Liu Fangzhou snorted "There are also shows"

More than a dozen charming figures came in from the entrances on both sides of the stage.

At the same time, with the fragrance coming from behind, a hand painted with red nail polish was put on Shen Shi'an's shoulder, and the tone was confusing.

"Sir, do you want someone?"
