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 455 Everything is Fate

Chapter 455 Everything is Fate

He was very sad about this, but he had nothing to say.

He knew very well that there was no food at home. Even if there were wild vegetables and wild mushrooms to fill his stomach, they were not rice or flour after all, and he always felt like something was missing.

What's more, there are a lot of greens, dandelions and green vegetables drying on the balcony. It is obvious that my mother is afraid of running out of food and dare not eat them freely.

He put the bag of membranes on the coffee table, and then put more than ten kilograms of rice and flour into the kitchen.

Looking at his mother, he consoled her, "Mom, these are all sent by my colleagues. Don't worry about eating them. Don't let yourself and the children suffer. Don't worry, the summer harvest is only a month or two away. I will borrow some food from my friends. I will always be able to borrow some."

"Son, it's okay. Mom, Xiaoheng and Xiaomin are all fine. They can be full by eating some vegetable porridge every day." Ke's mother knew that food was hard to come by, so she didn't want her son to be embarrassed.

After all, if it was as simple as he said, he wouldn't be so skinny.

Maybe he doesn't even know that he is not much better than the three people in his family.

Think about a young man who does physical work every day and has to save food for his family. It is a great thing if his body does not collapse.

Mother Ke's heart felt as if a piece of it was cut out by a knife, and it ached bitterly.

But she was afraid that her son would worry, so she forced herself to hold back the tears that were about to burst out.

Ke Wenpei saw everything but said nothing. He lay back on the bed, thinking about where he could borrow some food.

After thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't find a good place. Finally, he saw the photo of him and Zhu Shiliang hanging on the wall, and then he remembered his former unit.

In fact, it's not that he didn't think about the Human Resources Bureau, but he was ashamed and embarrassed, and he didn't dare to go back and let them see his most embarrassed appearance. In particular, before leaving, he had a fight with his leader.

But now, it seems that there is no other choice. Face and dignity, or food and survival, he thought, he would choose the former.

After thinking it over, Ke Wenpei sat up, tidied himself up, and then walked to his former unit.

However, what he didn't expect was that the place was deserted and sealed.

Ke Wenpei was dumbfounded. Could it be that God had taken away his last hope?

Seeing this scene, he almost cried and collapsed in the square, not knowing what to do.

When passers-by saw him, they all pointed at him, but he didn't care.

It wasn't until someone came up to him and asked what was wrong that he asked, "Where are the people in the building? Do you know where they moved to?"

People who lived nearby had heard a little about this, so they told Ke Wenpei about the places they knew.

Because there were many units in the building, they were dispersed to different places after it was confirmed that the building was a dangerous building.

But if you ask people who don’t know much about it where the Human Resources Bureau will move to, they really won’t know.

After Ke Wenpei got some uncertain news, he regained some hope. He thought, since the people didn't know, he would ask the people in the building, and he would find out one day.

Then, he went to several possible locations told by the passerby, but none of them were the people he was looking for.

However, after he contacted the Human Resources Bureau, he was provided with several possible locations.

Ke Wenpei continued to inquire and search along the way.

But before he could find the exact location, Hai City restored power and communications at the same time.

Ke Wenpei looked at the full signal on his phone and hesitated.

If I call Zhu Shiliang, I should be able to get the new address directly. But will they be mentally prepared to not lend me food?

With such a petty mind, he did not continue to make calls, but found the announcement on the Internet and learned the new address of his former unit.

He just stumbled over there.

The moment he saw the familiar face, he couldn't help but cry.

He didn't really want to kneel down, but the sadness and excitement in his heart made him do that subconsciously.

Of course, after doing that, he wanted to push the boat with the current and force them to help him by kneeling down. It can be said that he was really a mean person.

I just didn't expect that my movements were so big that they scared people away.

Fortunately, Yu Shui, this silly guy, agreed to help me without even asking.

Ke Wenpei recounted everything that had happened in his family without leaving out anything.

Then he looked at Yu Shui hopefully, and the meaning in his eyes was self-evident, that is, you said you would help me.

Yu Shui's scalp tingled when he looked at her, and she felt like crying but couldn't. His big mouth was really good at causing trouble!

But since I had already agreed, I could only bite the bullet and say, "Well, I, my ability is limited, I can only support you a little bit, I hope you won't be angry."

Ke Wenpei nodded hurriedly, "Sure, sure. Even one or two pounds is good."

Yu Shui heaved a sigh of relief, as long as the request wasn't too exorbitant.

Other colleagues also showed sympathy. They did not expect that such a big change would happen in Ke Wenpei's family in just two months.

After Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan heard the whole story and knew that they were not here to cause trouble, they relaxed. Then, the two left the corner and found a seat to sit down.

When Ke Wenpei saw the two of them, his eyes lit up. He knew that Shen Yanming's family was not short of food, but he didn't know whether he would lend it to him.

Thinking back to when he almost beat him up and put the blame on him before leaving, Ke Wenpei felt a little regretful.

Therefore, he looked at Shen Yanming with a slightly humble, slightly flattering, and slightly expectant look, hoping that he would take the initiative to give support.

Unexpectedly, Shen Yanming didn't even look at him, and Ke Wenpei's eyes dimmed. He knew that the other party was a vengeful person.

But Shen Yanming really didn't think so. He didn't want to look at him, but he just didn't want to embarrass others.

After all, to him, a little bit of food may be a very painful thing for others to give up.

Chen Yanming felt a little regretful. Why did he suggest everyone to come back and take a look today?

Zhu Shiliang and the others were in a dilemma, not knowing whether to give or not.

Compared with the possible loss of food, the dried mushrooms he gave away for free were really nothing.

Oh, I'm really sorry.

As for Ke Wenpei, although his experiences were all his own, Shen Yanming felt that they had something to do with him.

After all, if I hadn't brought the dried fruits to the company, he might still be working honestly and not be blinded by material desires.

I can only say that everything is fate.

Because of a little bit of guilt, Shen Yanming decided to help him at this juncture.

I just don’t want to be that flag, so I’ll just send him some food in private.

It won’t be much, it can only be said to be an emergency measure, just let him last until the summer harvest.
