Chapter 586: Separation

"Already...passed?"

Teacher Huang looked very tired.

"Well, we will slowly return to a peaceful era, and it will be a new era."

Xia Yan recalled the portals that were scattered throughout Chuntai Island. It was only a matter of time before they could reach other areas.

After experiencing this tragic apocalypse, everyone will participate in construction and devote all their strength to the arrival of a peaceful era.

There is always a generation that has to work hard. Only when they work hard can the next generation live a good life.

Xia Yan felt that this was what Chu Wanfu thought.

"It's a pity that I can't take you there now. Otherwise, you would be able to meet many survivors and live a carefree life at Chuntai Base. At least you wouldn't have to worry about zombies suddenly surrounding you in the middle of the night."

Ridaijima is no longer accepting new customers.

Teacher Huang calmed down and finally let down her guard. "It's okay. I can't leave. There are probably other children on their way here. Besides, I've been teaching here for over 20 years. If I leave, where will they go to school..."

Xia Yan looked around the old classroom.

Teacher Huang has poured her entire youth and faith into this place. She has grown up with this land and cannot leave it.

This is her dream, and she will do anything to pursue it.

The wind in early spring is icy and biting. It blows in through the windows and gaps in the walls, making people feel cold all over.

Xia Yan shrank his neck, looked at Teacher Huang and said, "Do you want to redecorate this classroom? I can sell you the materials."

Teacher Huang: ...?

My excited heart is trembling and my tears haven't stopped flowing yet.

"Pretend or not?"

"...Pack!"

...

Teacher Huang took out all his gold and bought everything he could use.

The dilapidated classroom was finally no longer drafty, and the glass windows that were almost smashed by zombies were replaced with large insulated aluminum windows, allowing sunlight to shine all the way to the end.

The walls were repainted and the floor was covered with floor tiles that Xia Yan gave him for free - they had been bought elsewhere for free.

Cairang installed the stove in the middle of the classroom, with a long pipe circling the classroom and leading directly to the chimney on the roof.

Seeing that they had difficulty moving things, Xia Yan sold the cart he had bought at a low price.

"With this thing, I can easily get anything I want. When not in use, I can put it under the flour to isolate it from the moisture on the ground."

Teacher Huang looked at the area of the cart and estimated that it could only hold three bags of noodles?

"Where should the coal be placed?" Xia Yan asked.

"Come with me and put it behind the room."

Ten tons of coal can be called a small mountain, and that is no exaggeration.

Cai Rang and Teacher Huang pulled the plastic sheet to cover it, and then pressed it down with large stones. When taking it out, they just opened a corner, which was very convenient.

With coal, we no longer have to suffer from the cold.

Arula lit a fire on the stove outside the house to cook. The aroma of rice mixed with the taste of home-cooked dishes made Teacher Huang take a deep breath from time to time, and his stomach growled with hunger.

When they set the table and prepared to eat and called Xia Yan to join them, they were surprised to find a man and a bear riding away on mountain bikes.

"Danger! Come back quickly!"

Teacher Huang waved his arms vigorously, looking very frightened.

It's almost dark, how dare you go out without permission?!

Don’t you know how to be afraid?

Arula served the soup and asked the children to call her back. "Don't worry, Teacher Huang. She will probably go back to the hotel soon. Come sit down and eat."

Teacher Huang frowned and sat down nervously.

After the figure disappeared behind the slope, she asked, "What's going on with that hotel you mentioned? Did you go to the city?"

...

There is really nothing to see on the grassland in spring.

It's bald and yellow, like a bald spot, with patches here and there.

If it weren't for the snow-capped mountains in the distance and the half-hidden clouds, Xia Yan would have gone back to the hotel to see the snow scene right away.

But she had another purpose for coming out this time.

"What?" Xiongxiong asked.

"You'll know in a moment. Now, help me find a nice place."

Xiongxiong didn't understand her definition of good-looking.

Until Xia Yan parked the car in front of a valley surrounded by mountains on three sides and with a concave and flat valley in the middle.

"Xiongxiong, do you think this place will be beautiful in the summer?"

She pointed to the very large lake that faced the valley.

The lake is so crystal clear that you can see the fine sand at the bottom, just like the eyes of the earth.

Xiong Xiong nodded, "I guess by then the mountains will be covered with wild flowers. That would be very beautiful."

"Okay, then this is the place. It's a perfect place to rest."

Xia Yan jumped out of the car and took out two shovels.

Xiongxiong never questions the boss's decision and always supports it unconditionally.

If the boss tells it to dig a hole, then it should dig deep, not shallow.

Xia Yan bought a high-quality coffin in the mall, put Chen Juqing in it, closed the coffin lid, and lowered him down.

In this world, Chen Juqing could not find freedom when he was alive, but he finally got it after his death.

The price of freedom is high.

The soil returned to the ground. The soil with ice chips was hard and hit the coffin with a loud thud.

Xia Yan and Xiong Xiong used the excess soil to form a peak, and finally erected a tombstone. Following Cai Rang's example, they scattered flower seeds around it.

They bowed deeply to the three words on the tombstone. Even though their real souls had gone to another dimension, the bodies in the coffins were real.

After a long time.

"Let's go back."

...

Chu Wanfu was busy all night and did not sleep. After quickly washing up in the morning, he rushed to the military court to preside over a new round of trials.

His men handed him a thick stack of confessions and evidence.

He turned to the first page, and this time it was the criminals captured from the Third Base and the First Base.

"What's your name?"

The two main criminals standing in the front said, "Zhang Yunzhang."

"Xin Ming."

"Do you have any objection to the facts of the crime?"

"Tsk." The man named Zhang Yunzhang looked disdainful, glaring viciously at Chu Wanfu, who was sitting in the middle. "While the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits. You arrived just in time, appearing just when we're both fighting and suffering heavy losses. It's strange, if no one had passed on the information to you, how could you have known?!"

As he spoke, his eyes moved to Xin Ming beside him, and a fierce look flashed across his eyes.

Raise your foot and strike the vital point.

"Are you the one who ruined my business?!"

Xin Ming felt like he had 3,200 broken ribs, and his whole body curled up like a shrimp. He was in so much pain that he broke out in a cold sweat. It felt like there was a force pulling and pinching him. He wanted to scream, but he didn't have the strength. He just wanted to die.

The guards nearby immediately rushed up and pinned Zhang Yunzhang to the ground.

Zhang Yunzhang's neck was thick and his face was red. He laughed with his tongue out like a pervert, "I would rather let the world down than let the world let me down!"

Xin Ming raised his head from the severe pain and said through gritted teeth:

"You even killed your own family for the position of First Base Commander. Why can't I kill you and exchange it for a better future?!"
