Bi Qiao'an lay weakly in the ice and snow, watching the heavy snow bury her alive. Thinking back to her three years of solitary survival in the apocalypse, her consciousness gradually blurred. ...
"Yes, I heard that ordinary people have to be put last."
After the leaders of various provinces and cities were injected, the next group to be injected were talents in special fields.
Only after guards, doctors, nurses, and police officers are desensitized and can ensure the normal operation of the city will the alliance begin to administer the injections to ordinary people.
This will take a long time, not just a month or two. I estimate at least one or two years.
"Huh? So long?" The man clicked his tongue. "But it's normal. Our Qinghua country is a populous country. Given the shortage of raw materials and the large number of special talents, it would be considered fast to finish injecting them within two years."
"Yes, thankfully our Qinghua country has mastered the cure for impetigo. Even if we have to wait another two years, at least there is hope. Unlike other countries, they don't even have an inhibitor, and everyone's face and body are covered in pustules, which looks painful."
"Yes, I wonder how much psychological trauma those laborers who went abroad on missions must have felt when they saw their foreign friends in that state!"
"Ha, I think you're overthinking it. Weren't they bragging online the other day that it's only around minus ten degrees Celsius there at night, but it's much better than here?"
"Where was that person you were assigned to? Is it some small border country near our Qinghua Kingdom? I saw a worker who was assigned to the area near the equator the other day, and he said it gets to seven or eight degrees Celsius at night there."
Upon hearing this, the people gathered around all showed expressions of envy.
At this point, an older woman bluntly stated: "Hey, don't listen to their smugness now. They'll be in for a world of hurt when summer comes."
"Yes, yes, yes, they're enjoying themselves now, but they'll suffer in the summer. Life is fair, isn't it?"
"I wonder how the laborers who were sent to China for special missions are doing now. It's so cold, they must be suffering terribly if they're working outdoors."
"You're obviously overthinking it. Our Qinghua Kingdom prioritizes people and puts the people first. How could we possibly make them work in temperatures of minus thirty or forty degrees Celsius? They're probably just hibernating somewhere."
"I think so too. It's just that it's inconvenient to reveal the mission location and mission details, which is why no one has contacted home. Don't worry, your son will definitely be fine. If there were any problems, would your old man Zhuang be willing to send him over there?"
"That's right, that's right. The person will be back once the mission is completed, so you, as their mother, can rest assured. What you need to do now is take good care of yourself and wait patiently for your son to come back."
Sister Xie was comforted by everyone. She touched her slightly moist eyes and said, "Yes, that's what my Xiao Tao said when he left. He told me not to worry about anything. He said his dad would know immediately if anything happened."
"Yes, yes, so stop crying. It's so cold outside, you'll get your face all chapped."
Sister Xie smiled and thanked everyone for their kindness.
Then, remembering something, he changed the subject, saying, "I heard that our alliance has recently brought back a lot of oil, coal, and rare earth elements."
"Oh? Sis, what do you know? Tell everyone!"
Sister Xie picked out some things she could say: "I heard that several leaders in the capital voluntarily gave up the injection of sunscreen, so that the alliance could exchange it for supplies from Lan and Europe."
"They'll replace it?"
"Give it to them! Even if the government disagrees, there are still big spenders. In short, there are plenty of people who own mines and are willing to spend money. They are all waiting for Qinghua Kingdom to distribute the desensitizing agent. There is no shortage of people willing to exchange it."
Our country is also thinking of being prepared, and we want to make a fortune before those countries figure out a cure for impetigo.
"That's true. We can produce the injections gradually, but those resources can't be replenished in a short time. The Alliance is truly farsighted!"
"Those big shots are also so great, to be able to sacrifice so much for the country and the people."
"Hey, you're overthinking it. They said they wouldn't get the injection themselves, but would the alliance really let them go without it? Since they've made such a significant contribution to the country, they definitely deserve priority. It's not something you can just pass off by refusing a couple of times."
Everyone thought about it and agreed, and then they spent a long time discussing which countries the alliance had traded supplies with.
Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan listened with great interest. Only when they saw that the two little ones were getting sleepy did they nod to everyone and go home first.
"Sigh, I really envy how loving that young couple is."
"You make it sound like your husband, Li Jianshe, is treating you badly. If you really have any complaints, I'll go talk to Li Jianshe tomorrow."
"Why are you like this? I was just expressing my envy, how did it come to bringing up whether my husband is good or not? To tell you the truth, my husband is great. Just last night, he even washed my feet!"
"Haha, you know it in your heart, why did you have to say it out loud? Aren't you afraid that we gossipy women will tell everyone and make your husband lose face?"
"I'm not afraid at all. My husband said this is how he shows his love for me. Even if you tell others, we'll only get envious and admiring looks from them. We're more than happy to show off our love!"
"Look at you, I was just joking, and you've gone on and on. We all know you two are so in love, but you don't have to go on like this to provoke us. Sigh, I can't compete, I guess I'll just go home and take care of my husband."
"Exactly, if we keep talking about this, we'll all turn into lemons."
"Yes, yes, just ignore her. She's born to be the envy of everyone. Look, her husband, Old Li, is coming down to catch her."
The group of people started teasing her again, until the woman was so embarrassed that she blushed red before they let her go.
But looking at her and Li Jianshe's backs, they couldn't help but feel envious.
"Alright, take that drooling look away. People are just different. You might not even meet one man like that, who dotes on his wife and kids. Let's not be envious."
"Sis, you don't have to be so pessimistic. Although it's hard to find a perfect man, our own man isn't bad either. Don't you think so?"
"Haha, yes, at least they're willing to do housework, they're not lazy. They're just a bit busy and often not home."
......
After returning home, Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan first took off the hats and scarves of their two little ones, then took off their coats and stuffed them into the quilt to keep them warm. Only then did they take off their own coats, which were already wet from the snowflakes, and hang them on the coat rack by the door.
Bi Qiaoan went into the bathroom to wash her hands and face with hot water, and then took a towel soaked in hot water into the bedroom to gently wipe the faces of her two little ones.
They were groaning and trying to dodge, clearly exhausted.
