I survived with my sister in the doomsday

Chapter 192 Government Recruitment

Ms. Ji's face suddenly became serious, she felt that she had let something slip.

Under the strong urging of Su Keshan, who was also curious, she finally sighed, "Alas, this matter... Actually, it's no longer a secret now. There was a big riot in the capital, and some terrible mutants appeared. These mutants have completely lost their humanity and become extremely cruel and crazy, just like the zombies in foreign movies! What's even more outrageous is that I heard that some mutants have evolved their own thinking and can control other mutants. Moreover, this mutant virus spreads very quickly. Not only do they attack ordinary people, even the national army can't withstand their attacks."

At this point, Ms. Ji pushed her glasses, steadied herself, and continued to explain: "I heard that if the skin is bitten by the claws or teeth of these mutants, the virus will be quickly infected, and the genes will begin to change within ten hours, slowly turning into a monster like them! There is currently no way to cure this virus, just like rabies, once you are infected, you can only wait to die! Now that the capital has been lost, it is only a matter of time before it transitions from the capital to our side... So the central city plan proposed by Vice Mayor Jiang is also a helpless move!"

We listened for a long time before we dared to exclaim: "Even if the army can't deal with these mutants, we guards can't resist them even if we stick together!"

Ms. Ji shook her head to indicate that she was not optimistic about the future either.

At this moment, the sound of a door opening was suddenly heard, and someone shouted into the room, "Aunt Ying, Sister Keshan, I'm back!"

Then I heard the sound of doors opening and closing in the living room and heavy objects piled against the wall. It should be Ma Xiaolong coming back.

A few of us quickly opened the door to welcome Ma Xiaolong.

We even helped him carry some firewood, which was hauled back by a snowmobile.

He was wearing a thick military coat, a fleece cap and a thick mask. His breath formed ice crystals on his eyelashes. We piled the firewood in the corner of the living room against the wall. There were more than a dozen pieces in total. Each piece was a slender trunk from a large tree about one meter long. There were enough to burn for a while.

It was then that Ma Xiaolong saw me. He seemed to remember me, and before I could say anything he shouted, "Isn't this Brother Huo? Why are you here?"

This kid is worthy of being a retired soldier. He has a strong ability to recognize people. He can remember me after only one contact.

"Do you still remember your brother?" I couldn't help but sigh with joy.

"You're so tall and fat, how come you can't remember it?" He teased me with a chuckle.

This bad boy picked out my characteristics, and I asked unwillingly: "Am I that fat?"

"There are not many ordinary people as strong as you, Brother Huo, nowadays. Look at the people outside, they have become thinner due to the disaster, not to mention ordinary people. I heard that many people starved to death." Ma Xiaolong was still summarizing.

Indeed, when disaster strikes, food gradually decreases and people have to face hunger. The once rich and colorful food choices become extremely limited, barely maintaining basic survival needs. Foods that were once considered delicacies are now a distant memory, and junk food that was once mouth-watering is even out of reach.

Under this difficult environment, people's physical condition has changed significantly. Due to lack of adequate nutrition intake, most people have lost weight.

Su Keshan also nodded frequently, thinking that what Xiao Ma said made sense. She couldn't help but agree, "It seems that the little fat boy is in really good condition. Although he is a little thinner than before, he is still considered fat in this environment."

I immediately felt a little embarrassed. Yes, I am 188 meters tall without shoes, but meters tall with shoes, but now I am still kilograms tall and weigh about the same. Isn't that a fat man in real life? I have always been inferior because of my body shape...

Lin Lin patted me on the shoulder to comfort me.

Ma Xiaolong also picked up a piece of firewood from the ground and chopped it into three pieces. He took us back to the inner room with a fireplace and added more wood. Although the fire was a little stronger, the wood he had just chopped was still a little damp, so a lot of smoke came out of the fireplace and was discharged out of the house through the chimney, but some smoke in the house was not discharged, which was very choking.

It’s just that everyone has long been accustomed to this terrible environment. No one is so pretentious and no one complains.

He also took off his coat and started warming himself in front of the fireplace. He curled up his body, stretched out his hands, rubbed them up and down, and warmed himself by the flames of the fireplace.

Su Keshan quickly brought him a cup of hot water to help him dispel the coldness in his body.

Ma Xiaolong took the cup of water and blew on it. It didn't feel very hot, so he drank the water in one breath. After a moment, his body seemed to warm up from the inside out under the hot water. He asked me energetically, "Brother, are you here to see me?"

"Yes, when we parted last time, didn't I tell you that I would buy a snowmobile from you in the future? Have you found out the channel?" I asked him calmly.

"Yes, there is, but..." He frowned and looked confused.

"Just say what you want to say," Su Keshan urged.

Ma Xiaolong stared at me and thought for a moment before hesitantly saying, "Brother, don't even think about it. Snowmobiles do exist, but they are all under government control. Ordinary people like us can't buy them."

I also had a hunch that snowmobiles are a very practical means of transportation in today's environment, and it is not unreasonable for them to be regulated by the government.

"But I found out something today. I heard from Sister Keshan that you have superpowers, is that true?" Ma Xiaolong looked at me with bright eyes and asked.

"So what?" I asked back curiously.

People with special abilities are no longer a secret nowadays, so I am not afraid of them knowing that I am a person with special abilities.

"It is said that the government is now recruiting people with mutant abilities to join the guard! Brother Huo, you can go and have a try. They also said that if your ability level is high, you can be made a team leader, and the government will provide you with a snowmobile for free. Unfortunately, I don't have any mutant abilities." The last sentence was spoken by him while complaining and sighing.

After hearing the news, Lin Lin and I looked at each other. It seems that the current government leaders are also clear-headed people. They know the existence of people with super powers and want to win them over to use for their own purposes!

"Is anyone signing up now? Do you know how many people with special abilities there are in the Mid-Mountain Base?" Lin Lin and I asked eagerly.

"Yes, especially after the flood, many people became psychics, but their abilities are limited. I guess most of them are first-level psychics. Even first-level psychics have obviously higher physical fitness than ordinary people! I really envy people whose superpowers have been awakened. It would be great if I could also have my superpowers awakened..." Ma Xiaolong was still complaining in frustration.

Lin Lin suddenly said: "You should be able to mutate your superpowers, but you just haven't broken through to the first level of superpowers. If you have the help of the crystal core, you should be able to break through to the first level of superpowers."

Hearing this, Ma Xiaolong looked at Lin Lin with shining eyes. At first, he didn't pay much attention to Lin Lin beside me, because Lin Lin was not tall and a little thin, and he was not very noticeable wherever he walked. What's more, he always stood next to me, who was tall and strong, making him look even smaller and less noticeable.

"Brother, how did you know that?" Ma Xiaolong quickly stood up and grabbed Lin Lin's hand, then walked forward and asked excitedly.

I helped explain: "This comrade Xiaolin is a clairvoyant. He can see clearly what abilities others have."

When these words were spoken, the other three people except me were extremely shocked.

Ms. Ji couldn't help but ask curiously, "So, Comrade Xiaolin, since you have supernatural powers, you should join the government-organized guard team. On a larger scale, it can protect your homeland, or on a smaller scale, it can help you get a stable job and distribute food. This is what you should do!"
