As they walked and talked, they soon arrived at Bai Zhengxuan's orchard.

The orchard is far from the village.

Even after walking for a while, you can still smell the burnt smell.

The burnt smell was strong and lingered.

The orchard was surrounded by a fence, and inside, the fruit was plentiful. You could vaguely see children laughing and playing inside.

Not far away, there is a small hill with an air-raid shelter inside. The shelter is very well hidden, and even people who are not from this village may not be able to find it.

"Old Bai, thanks to your orchard, we can still eat fresh fruit. However, I don't know who's so wicked as to steal quite a few of your fruit trees!"

Village Chief Li pointed to the middle of the orchard, looking slightly indignant.

The villagers have always been simple and honest, and they don't do anything like stealing chickens or dogs.

Bai Zhengxuan's orchard had never been fenced off before, yet no fruit trees had ever been stolen; at most, a few fruits would be lost.

Then zombies appeared, and nowhere was safe.

Fearing being bitten by zombies while picking fruit, the young people in the village installed a fence around the perimeter.

You won't believe it until you see it, and what you find will shock you.

When the village chief led some young people into the orchard for the first time since the apocalypse, they discovered that many fruit trees in the very center of the orchard had been dug up by someone!

I dug up several of each kind!

The village chief was so angry that he immediately started cursing!

Stealing fruit is one thing, but digging up fruit trees is truly immoral!

Bai Zhengxuan touched his nose and said magnanimously, "Go ahead and dig! It's alright!"

Isn't it him who dug it up?

They've all ended up in Xiaozhu's space!

Now the whole family can often enjoy fresh and juicy fruits from the space!

"That's outrageous! If I find out who dug up your fruit trees, I'll break their legs!"

Village Chief Li was still somewhat angry.

What angered him was that some people were dishonest, and he couldn't stand such people.

"Hehe, it's not that bad, it's not that bad." Bai Zhengxuan looked slightly uncomfortable.

I always feel a chill on my legs.

"After I led my men to cordon off this area, we also cleared out some of those monsters. We picked a lot of fruit and dried it all while the sun was shining..."

Village Chief Li led the Bai family into the orchard, rambling on and on.

In the orchard, adults carried baskets and picked fruit from the trees. Some of the picked mangoes were cut open and laid out to dry on clean plastic sheets.

Even though there was enough food, when the apocalypse came, Village Chief Li still told everyone to dry and store the fruit they could find.

People his age are terrified of hunger and can't bear to see any food wasted.

One or two young people who had come back from other cities also returned to the village. They said that there was a shortage of supplies in the city, which made them cherish any food they could find even more.

"Uncle Bai, you're back!"

The fruit pickers saw Bai Zhengxuan return and came over to greet him with delight.

In an era overrun by zombies, seeing a long-lost friend again is harder than winning the lottery.

"You're back!" Bai Zhengxuan nodded with a smile.

Seeing that the villagers were doing so well, he felt relieved.

The villagers picking fruit greeted the Bai family with smiles on their faces, even though they had just experienced a "catastrophe" yesterday and the village was gone.

They still live a very positive and optimistic life.

Being alive is already far better than most people.

March is the harvest season for pears and mangoes, and everyone carries a bamboo basket.

The simple folks were happy to see the Bai family, but also a little embarrassed.

This orchard belongs to the Bai family.

“Everyone, please continue. This orchard belongs to our village. There’s nothing wrong with us eating our own fruit.”

Bai Anhai patted the hand of a childhood friend and joked, "Have you forgotten how we used to sneak in late at night and eat our fill back then?"

"Of course I remember!" A middle-aged man's lips twitched.

He ate quite well, but later he and Xiao Hai went to get IV drips. He had diarrhea for seven days and almost died!

Bai Anhai's words made the simple villagers feel less embarrassed, and after exchanging pleasantries, they started picking fruit again.

Everyone knows there's a food shortage right now, so we should save whatever we can.

"Thanks to your orchard! We've already stored a lot of dried fruit in the air-raid shelter. Every household has a special box for storing food, so if anything happens, we can run away immediately."

Village Chief Li whispered in Bai Zhengxuan's ear.

That day, Bai Zhengxuan said a lot.

Besides zombies, there are various other uncertainties.

They encountered quite a few people in the mutated animal village, but fortunately, there were several superhumans in the village who worked together to protect the villagers.

When Bai Zhengxuan talked about the apocalypse, Village Chief Li said that if the apocalypse didn't happen, he would spend the rest of his life in jail.

He boldly misappropriated every penny of public funds he had access to.

In addition to supplies, they also bought a lot of kitchen knives, enough for everyone in the village to have one.

Inside the air-raid shelter was a hidden cellar filled with supplies; it was the villagers' last resort.

"Yes, remember to take care of your old bones and don't be reckless!" Bai Zhengxuan glanced at Village Chief Li.

The sight of the red spots all over Village Chief Li's body tells you that he must have been outside the whole time when the locusts broke out.

That's just how he is. He's been the village chief his whole life, and all he wants is for the villagers to be well. He's always thinking of others; it's become a habit.

"Alas, this is how my old bones are. I'm just afraid that one day I'll die and not see the end of the world!"

Village Chief Li sighed.

There's no hope of rescue.

At this rate, I really don't know if he'll be able to see the end of the world.

Bai Zhengxuan was also somewhat dazed.

He also wanted the end of the world to end.

Unfortunately, zombies that look exactly like humans have appeared in the world. At this rate, it's unclear how long the battle between humans and zombies will last.

Village Chief Li led the Bai family around the orchard and then led them into the air-raid shelter.

At the entrance of the air-raid shelter stood a dozen or so strong young men, each holding a kitchen knife.

Upon seeing Village Chief Li and the Bai family, they greeted them with great joy.

Seeing familiar faces standing before you again, no one would be unhappy or surprised.

In this apocalyptic world, it's already a rare treat to see someone you know.

Inside the air-raid shelter, rows of tents were laid out on the ground.

These tents are all black, and they were all hoarded by the old village chief before the apocalypse, risking his life in prison.

In these matters, Bai Zhengxuan believed that the old village chief was far greater than himself.

When the apocalypse came, all he wanted was to be with his family. He didn't care much about the lives of others. His only action was to tell the village chief that the apocalypse was coming.

When the old village chief saw Bai Zhengxuan's superpower, his first thought was to hoard supplies for the entire village.
