Farming for Survival in the Apocalypse

Bi Qiao’an lay motionless in the icy snow, watching helplessly as the falling flakes slowly buried her. As her consciousness faded, her mind drifted back to the three arduous years she had spent ...

Chapter 201 Very mean and cruel

Chapter 201 Very mean and cruel

Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan have been living in the space for a week.

This week, they were both immersed in something unspeakable and unable to extricate themselves...

Of course, this is just the surface.

The fact is that Shen Yanming really wanted Bi Qiaoan to get pregnant on the one hand, and on the other hand he wanted to divert her attention.

Shen Yanming thought that maybe only by making her too tired to think about anything every day, she could become cheerful again. Of course, there was also some selfish desire to make herself happy.

As for Bi Qiaoan, she was very clear about Shen Yanming's thoughts, so she tried her best to cooperate every time and was carefree in front of Shen Yanming, but she continued to be depressed when Shen Yanming was not around.

Just like that, after a love affair, Bi Qiaoan fell asleep in Shen Yanming's arms. Shen Yanming waited until her breathing became even, then gently lifted the quilt, tiptoed out of the bedroom, and left the space from the storage area.

He hadn't fed the chicks for two days. If he didn't go, he was afraid that the chicks in the field would starve to death.

Shen Yanming glanced at his phone and saw no calls or text messages. He searched the Internet but still found no good news.

Shen Yanming sighed, put on long-sleeved shirt and long pants, put on a headgear and goggles, put on gloves and an aromatherapy ball, then took a bag of millet and a bottle of water, put them in a plastic bag and went out.

He glanced at the time before he went out. It was June 11th, 16:21. This was his and Bi Qiaoan’s wedding anniversary. Moreover, today was also Qiaoan’s birthday!

Therefore, Shen Yanming wanted to finish feeding quickly so that he could go home and celebrate with Bi Qiaoan.

The moment he walked out of the building, swarms of mosquitoes scattered around him. Shen Yanming was glad that he had the spice recipe. Otherwise, he would not even be able to leave the door, and Qinghua Country would have to suffer a lot more hardships.

Shen Yanming walked towards Qingning Mountain. Almost no one came here recently, and Chen Shunwei and his men had withdrawn long ago, so Shen Yanming did not meet anyone along the way.

When he arrived at the field, he saw that the chicks were lying listlessly in the chicken coop, and they had eaten all the water and rice in the trough.

After Shen Yanming filled the trough, he walked around the field and found that there were more locusts in the corn field.

Looking back at the size of the chicks, Shen Yanming knew that the wire mesh should be able to trap them, so he simply released the chicks from the cage and let them roam freely in the fields.

However, Shen Yanming had heard that places where chickens are raised will almost always be eaten bare by the chickens. Now there are twelve chicks and two goslings on four acres of land. They shouldn't be eaten up, right?

Shen Yanming thought, after the sweet potato vines are eaten, the sweet potatoes can still grow, right? The locusts on the corn leaves should be enough to feed the chicks, right?

Oh, never mind, never mind, it doesn’t matter even if they eat it all, they won’t starve, and he doesn’t want to come out to feed the chickens often. Every time he goes out, he feels anxious and wants to go home quickly to find his wife.

Shen Yanming's feeling was correct. Bi Qiaoan woke up just after he left the space.

During this period, Bi Qiaoan knew that when she was sleeping, Shen Yanming either left the space to read the news or went to Qingning Mountain to feed the chickens. Even if he left the space, he was still reading in the study.

Therefore, it was not just her who was under pressure. Shen Yanming was under more pressure than her, but he never showed it in front of her, so Bi Qiaoan always pretended that she didn't know.

Bi Qiaoan scanned the space with his consciousness, and after confirming that Shen Yanming had left, he waited for more than ten minutes before leaving the space.

The moment she appeared on the big bed in the bedroom, she heard the living room door slam shut.

Bi Qiaoan patted his chest and said, it was a close call, he was almost caught.

So, she had to race against time to understand the situation outside.

Bi Qiaoan picked up his phone and checked Weibo, only to find that there was still no progress. So far, 5,328 people in Qinghua Country have lost their lives, but Li Heng and the others are still holding on.

All the major hospitals in Qinghua Country are now broadcasting the footage of Li Heng and others every day. They are not repeating the footage, but the footage shot the day before is broadcast every day.

Some people may ask, what’s so good about a pile of rotten meat? But the bigwigs of Qinghua Country don’t think so.

They wanted to use Li Heng and his companions as examples to encourage those who were suffering and wanted to give up. They also wanted to use the excuse of encouraging other patients to force Li Heng and his companions to continue to persevere.

Well, it's mean and cruel, but the intention and the result are good.

However, the situation abroad is not so optimistic.

On the one hand, they cannot control the spread of the HZ virus, with hundreds of thousands of new infections every day.

On the other hand, medical resources are limited, and the disease cannot be cured in the first place. Now there are so many infected people that they don’t even have the chance to be hospitalized.

There is no other way, the patients can only lie at home and fend for themselves, and they may not be discovered until they die and rot.

The undertakers who handle the corpses can carry out a corpse every few households, but their number is limited and the processing speed is also limited, so those corpses that are not handled in time will be infested with insects and even feed certain dark creatures, causing other epidemics.

In short, that place is hell. Compared with it, Qinghua Kingdom is no different from heaven.

Bi Qiaoan felt heavy-hearted as she read the news. She wiped away the tears from her eyes and put her phone back where it was. It was getting late, so she had to hurry back to her space.

Lying on the big bed in the space bedroom, Bi Qiaoan was still thinking. She had discussed this matter with Shen Yanming. They were both ordinary people and could not help at all.

First, they don't know medicine, and second, they don't understand biology. One of them studies economics and the other studies law. If there is anything they can do to help Qinghe Alliance, it's probably the Chinese herbal medicines in the space. But, do they dare to take the things out?

Dare not!

Although they were sure that even if Chief Alliance Officer Licheng knew that they had space, he would not do anything bad to them, but what about other people? Human nature is greedy, and who knows if someone will be secretly jealous and carry out assassination or something.

In his previous life, although Xiao Fei reached a cooperation with the Qinghe Alliance, was he really safe? There were guards following him all the time, weren't they just afraid that something might happen to him?

If there is no guarantee of safety and no freedom at all, then what is the meaning of their rebirth?

Maybe some people would say that since you two have been reborn, you should shoulder social responsibilities, but Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan completed their work very well at the unit and got along well with each other at home. When the Qinghe Alliance needed energy rainwater, they handed it over for free, and when they found mosquito repellent fragrance, they handed it over without leaving their names.

The two of them have been doing their best to help the Qinghe Alliance, so they can be said to have done so with a clear conscience!

However, both of them were soft-hearted people. Shen Yanming had been studying the ancient books in the bamboo house while Bi Qiaoan was not paying attention, and Bi Qiaoan pretended not to notice and silently supported him behind the scenes.

Unfortunately, after studying for so long, he still didn't find any useful information.
