Chapter 4 New Year’s Eve①
  New Year's Eve, 3:30 in the afternoon.

Shelter 61 is located underground. It is a civil air defense project made of reinforced concrete. The five major functional areas are divided into five building groups, like five thick and twisted vines, rotating and entangled, penetrating into the ground from the ground.

The shelter is usually cold and dirty, but today it was rarely cleaned and it became lively. People were coming and going in the aisles, and even the cold white light of the street lights became warm.

Everyone had a genuine smile on their face. They shouted hello and asked each other how they were doing.

"Jiang Gong, have you eaten?"

"After eating, how is your little baby? Is the cough feeling better?"

"Thanks to you, it's almost finished."

"That's good, that's good!"

Once inside the shelter, the hunting party split up. Except for the captain and vice-captain who went straight to the core area with their harvest, others were able to move freely. Hua Xiaoqin ignored anyone, first went to the armory to get the blowgun, and then rushed straight to the medical station.

The people at the armory still ignored her and didn't even ask her to give her name. The staff on duty had already recognized her, and when they saw her walking towards the counter, their brows began to knot.

This time, Hua Xiaoqin did not take the initiative to speak, but chose to put a tube of light green solution on the table.

The person on duty glanced at the solution and tightened his eyebrows: "What the hell?"

Hua Xiaoqin: "I don't know, it's made from mutant mango juice. It's probably a little bit poisonous, right? Do you want it?"

The person on duty widened his eyes and pointed at Hua Xiaoqin: "Did you make it? The mutated mango is highly poisonous. How come you're okay?"

No, they didn’t mention that this little military doctor was a researcher, and he just prepared venom casually! With this ability, how could anyone dare to embarrass her? Who doesn't know that the most valuable people in the shelter are the special operators and researchers?

I heard that today's two-headed parrots have wiped out the mango groves. In the next period of time, humans will have to live with their necks shrunk and cannot go out at will to avoid being "angered" by the two-headed parrots. Moreover, the mutated mango forest project has been thoroughly researched for a long time. It has been stuck in the production of venom for three years, and no one has made any progress.

Suddenly someone told him that he had mutated mango venom on his hands...

Hua Xiaoqin didn't say much and gave the other party a business smile: "Then do you want it?"

"I want it, of course I want it!" The person on duty reached out to take away the tube of solution, but Hua Xiaoqin put it into her pocket.

"My dart."

"Yes, yes! Oh, look at my memory! It's so useless!" The person on duty turned his face like a book, hugged Hua Xiaoqin's thighs respectfully, and slapped himself a few times while saying, "Your Blowing Arrow has received special attention from the superiors and has been locked in an absolutely safe secret drawer. I will unlock it right away and take it out for you! Just a moment! Just a moment!"

As soon as she said this, the researcher knew that she had been given the order by her leader and was not actively trying to go against her. He hoped that she would not blame him.

Hua Xiaoqin, an ordinary student, didn't have so many twists and turns in her stomach. Seeing that the other party was polite, she left about one-fifth of a tube of solution sample for the staff on duty, took the blow dart and turned away.

Everything must be said with strength. Her first priority is to collect the blow dart, and then go back to purify the intermediate poison and refine the poison of the blow dart, so that she can be qualified to take revenge or repay kindness.

The wasteland has very poor means of production.

If you want to purify today's pharmaceuticals to intermediate levels, you must use a complete set of equipment, and the molecular laboratory of the medical station has a complete set of equipment.

The medical station is located in the middle of the east side of the core area. The main entrance is on the street frontage on the 33rd floor. It is meters wide and is enough for five armored vehicles to enter and exit side by side. There are also countless small doors opened in the alleys in the front, back, left and right, so that anyone who is injured can be sent in for treatment as soon as possible. After entering the small gate, there will be a temporary processing point for isolation, triage and preliminary treatment.

After passing the security check and isolation procedures, Hua Xiaoqin can enter the molecular laboratory of the medical station.

The construction of the laboratory cost a lot of money, and its scale is close to pre-apocalyptic standards. She changed her clothes and pressed the password. Two heavy metal doors opened one after another, making a heavy "dong-dong" sound.

There was only one light on in the laboratory, and someone was looking at a microscope under the light, seemingly doing some testing.

Hearing the sound, he raised his head from the microscope, pushed up his reading glasses, saw the person clearly, and then asked slowly: "Why is Xiaoqin here?"

"Well, I just obtained some primary neurotoxin and want to purify it." Hua Xiaoqin took out a glass tube from her pocket while greeting her, "Isn't Xiaotang on duty today? How did he become Teacher Ji? It must be that The guy has changed with you again, right?"

Teacher Ji is one of the partners in the laboratory. He is tall, thin, and has gray hair. He looks to be in his sixties or seventies. He wears crisp and clean clothes every day, but he does not like to forgive others and starts to talk. The logic is clear.

Hearing Hua Xiaoqin's words, she shook her head and said with a smile: "Xiaotang has recently dated a new girlfriend. Today I want to go to someone else's house for dinner. I am an old man living alone. I live like this whether I work or not. But you should do the same." Thinking about the major events of your life, what does it mean to hang out in the laboratory with an old man like me every day? I have already said hello to your family members, and they all asked me to explain the truth to you. How can a girl after the age of 18 be alone in this world? It’s too unsafe for one person!”

In the wasteland era, the hazy beauty between men and women has long since faded away, and many people have the mentality of "you can get drunk now" when talking about partners. Coupled with low productivity and lack of means, girls get pregnant and give birth at an early age, and the legal requirement of becoming an adult at the age of 18 has long existed in name only.

Population reproduction is in the interests of the shelter, so the phenomenon of early pregnancy and multiple births among girls is getting worse.

Hua Xiaoqin's predecessor was actually in talks with Yan Dong. It's just that Yan Dong disappeared without a trace after her encephalitis, and he hooked up with some tall lady.

Hua Xiaoqin herself is not interested in the idea of ​​living together and having a baby as her final destination, and has no interest in getting back together with her ex-boyfriend. When she heard this, her chicken skin stood up.

She rolled her arms and said helplessly: "Obviously Xiaotang did something wrong, why did Teacher Ji put the fire on me..."

Teacher Ji refused to let her go: "What's so good about Yan Dong? It's been fifty days! Haven't you let it go yet?"

"I've given up a long time ago! That kind of person is disrespecting himself by wasting another second!"

"That's fine. Men should marry when they are young. This old saying should be married when girls are young. This old saying has gone through the test of the apocalypse and has been passed down from the civilized era to this day. You have to know that having a partner is like having an extra bodyguard. In this day and age, it is impossible to have a husband. Women are like grass. If you still want to do research in peace and quiet, you must first take care of the matter at home. Don't get into trouble with any gangsters. I don't have the ability to catch you!"

Hua Xiaoqin was speechless.

Just as her blow dart was about to be completed, the skill of the full-level Poison Doctor was already beckoning to her. With the blow dart, ordinary people could not get close without her permission, which was equivalent to the invincible hand in the 61 shelter.

With this ability, who dares to take her idea?
  However, she couldn't use it as an excuse. The max-level number is her biggest trump card and secret, and she plans to carry it into the coffin in this life.

"When the gangsters come, I just beat them away..." Hua Xiaoqin was vague.

"It's easy for you to say that! Even if I believe what you say, others don't believe it either! It's not me who has the final say at the medical station!" Teacher Ji hates iron. "Besides, the person I'm introducing to you this time is very important." He has great potential, he is already a core researcher at a young age, and he will have a good life in the future!"

But Teacher Ji really cares about her personal safety. In this post-apocalyptic wasteland, there are very few people who truly care about their fellow humans. Teacher Ji was obviously optimistic about her ability, otherwise he would not have said such heartfelt words.

She has to accept this love.

Hua Xiaoqin pinched her nose and accepted the blind date on the third day of the new year. Her mind was so full of blind dates that she had long forgotten the scene where the mango grove was destroyed by a two-headed parrot today. This was also the first time she had traveled to the wasteland. A regretful thing.
