Apocalyptic Natural Disasters: I Have a Capsule House

On the tenth day of the apocalypse, Su Keke was forcibly driven out of her home by her adoptive parents and sister. The reason was to reduce one person's consumption of supplies, even though Su...

Chapter 500 Return to Lingcheng

Su Keke and Grandma Qiao had breakfast in the capsule house, then went back to the basement to find two sets of relatively simple clothes to put on.

She landed the capsule house 300 meters away from where people live. The two wore masks and carried leisure bags, looking like two backpackers going out for a hike.

However, no matter how simple their clothes were, they still looked very new, which Su Keke did not expect at first.

You tear up this nice piece of clothing, throw it on the ground, stomp on it, and finally wear it until it's dirty. Just like Grandma Qiao said, this is a waste of good things!

Su Keke also felt that with her current abilities, she was not afraid of those who wanted to steal things right away.

If there are two people like this, she will beat them up. She doesn't know who is afraid of whom.

"Keke! Do you think there are people we know in those stone houses ahead?"

Grandma Qiao walked on the right side of Su Keke, occasionally standing on tiptoe to look at the stone houses in the distance. The closer she got to the houses, the more nervous Grandma Qiao became.

“I hope so!”

Su Keke replied softly. She didn't know whether Lu Mei and the others survived the tsunami.

After all, tsunamis are extremely destructive, and even if people were in the escape ball at the time, they might not be safe later.

The two of them talked like this as they walked along the path between the stone house and the farmland.

In the farmland, some people were carrying hoes and loosening the soil.

Xiao Liu, the mayor's assistant, was surrounded by a group of people asking him questions. Many of them had never grown cotton and were very curious about the cotton seeds that Xiao Liu was holding in his hands like a treasure.

Generally speaking, the best time to sow cotton is in spring, and the latest is around July.

But it's already October, and Xiao Liu doesn't understand why the mayor asked him to take people to the farmland to sow seeds at this time. What if the seeds don't sprout?

These seeds are hard to come by, and if this batch is killed, they will be gone.

Chen Da and his colleagues' task today is to dig ripe potatoes.

They were right next to Xiao Liu, half squatting and digging the soil with a small shovel in their hands.

After the potato roots are exposed, pull up the entire plant, shake off the excess soil, and finally pull the potatoes off one by one and throw them into the bamboo basket.

"The potatoes we dug today seem pretty good! They're big and don't have many worm holes. I'll definitely go exchange them for more after work tonight."

Chen Da raised the potato in his hand, looked at it carefully, and said with a smile on his face.

"Old Chen! You really know how to live. Then I'll go with you to exchange some points. Anyway, I only have a few points. I won't be able to save much if I don't exchange them."

Lei Mu used his clothes to scoop up several potatoes, and while talking, he put the freshly dug potatoes into Chen Da's bamboo basket.

"Uncle Lei! Why don't we roast some potatoes tonight? I'm tired of eating steamed potatoes every day."

Lin Xiao stood up from the other end and said with a smile.

“Without barbecue seasoning, the food will taste bland!”

Lei Wenbin on the side said this in a disappointed tone, and then continued to dig potatoes seriously.

He didn't dare to be lazy like Lin Xiao. If Team Leader Fang saw this, he would be deducted points.

"You don't understand this! Even if you don't add any seasoning, baked potatoes are more delicious than steamed ones! If you don't believe me, let's go exchange some big ones tonight, and I'll bake them for you to try."

Lin Xiao put his hands on his hips and walked towards Lei Wenbin while talking.

"Lin Xiao! You can talk, but why are you coming to my place for no reason? If Team Leader Fang sees us chatting, my points will be deducted."

"You forgot that he deducted 5 points from you yesterday."

Lei Wenbin waved his hands vigorously at Lin Xiao, signaling him not to come over and to go back to work.

"Old Fangtou is too busy to take care of us today! I heard that his lost son came back yesterday. He brought several wild rabbits with him. His family kept one for themselves and took the others to the exchange point to exchange for points."

"Our base is in need of poultry, right? With these wild rabbits, we will have meat to eat. Mayor Chen asked his son to raise poultry to thank him. Old Fangtou was so happy that he asked for leave today to go back and welcome his son."

Lin Xiao spoke in a mysterious way, and Lei Wenbin became more excited. If no one cared, he would also like to take a break.

But he was a timid man and still felt uneasy, so he quickly asked, "Who will be responsible for recording the hours we work today?"

"Of course it's Assistant Liu! I say that you are all too honest. You just bury your heads in work every day. People like me, who occasionally slack off and hang around, are well-informed."

"Alas! Our two families would surely break up without me!"

Lin Xiao felt somewhat proud and wanted to brag to Lei Wenbin, but when he glanced at the side of the road, he saw two people walking slowly towards them from a distance.

He looked at the two people's clothes and guessed that they were definitely not from the base. There were more men than women in this base, and the few women were all assigned to work at the official exchange point.

"Uncle Chen, Uncle Lei! Look, there are people over there!" Lin Xiao shouted excitedly.

"You kid, isn't it normal for someone like you to be normal?"

Chen Da weighed the bamboo basket full of potatoes, asking them to lower it a little so that the basket could hold more potatoes.

Who would have thought that when he looked up casually, he was shocked to see that there were new survivors coming back from their base. And judging from their attire, they were two women.

"Could it be that Lu Mei and Shi Huan are back?"

Chen Da muttered something and immediately ran towards the path.

"Who's back?"

Lei Mu and Lei Wenbin also raised their heads and asked curiously.

"Let's go and take a look and we'll know!" Lin Xiao said and followed Chen Da to the path.

"Dad! Let's go check it out. Maybe it's Mom and Xiaoqian!"

Lei Wenbin threw the shovel in his hand to the ground, walked over and pulled his father to run towards the middle road.

"Hey! What are these people in the field next door doing? Are they on strike? Assistant Liu, take a quick look. We'll have to deduct points from these people tonight."

"No! It seems like someone is coming up the road over there. Let's go check it out! Maybe one of our family members is there!"

"Oh my god! She looks like my daughter! I have to go check it out!"

The people in the farmland over here also put down their hoes and ran towards the path like a swarm of bees.

"Be careful! Don't step on the vegetables!"

Xiao Liu smiled and shook his head, then followed him towards the path.

He is usually responsible for registering new people who come to the base.

Although his parents came back some time ago, he also wanted to see if it was someone from his uncle's family.
