Natural disasters descended abruptly, and the world underwent massive changes. First came extreme heat, then extreme cold, followed by earthquakes, heavy fog, eternal night, and acid rain, all arri...
After saying goodbye to Kong Jianming, Su Nian and Jing Mo didn’t wander around the base, but went straight home.
Although I got home quickly, I still saw some speechless scenes.
Some people were walking in groups, and it was unclear whether they were going to work or had just finished work.
Each of them was wrapped very warmly, wearing layer upon layer of clothes, but not much of them really kept them warm.
When they walked, they hunched their necks and hugged their arms, and the exposed skin was covered with frostbite.
These people all live in dormitories.
The base provides them with food and lodging, but it is not provided for free. They have to follow the arrangements of the base and do their work.
Su Nian didn’t know what it was exactly.
But in this weather, no matter what you do, it's all suffering.
But is it okay not to do it?
Of course not.
It's not like there are elderly or children without labor force. If they just open their mouths and wait for food, no matter how much food the base has, it will not be enough to feed them.
Su Nian didn't look at it for too long and quickly looked away.
Even if he was reborn once, Su Nian was just a human, not a god.
All she could do was not to compete with these people for survival resources, but to hide and live her own life, and then bring back more prey or plant more snow fruits.
These people cannot afford wild boar meat, but there will definitely be some meat added to the meals at the base so that they can have enough calories to survive and work.
Snow fruit will soon be planted in large quantities and mature quickly, so it will be no problem for everyone to eat it.
With the supplement of vitamins, my physical fitness will be better, snow blindness will be improved, and most importantly, I will no longer suffer from constipation.
Su Nian let out a long breath. This was all she could do.
Su Nian turned to look at Jing Mo, "After we go back, let's grow another batch of snow fruits and sell them!
When the time comes, we will not sell it to the base, but to the people in the base. We will sell it at a lower price.”
Jing Mo didn't know why Su Nian suddenly brought this up, but he didn't object and agreed directly, "Okay! I'll listen to you!"
Hearing Jing Mo's answer, Su Nian smiled, "Why do I feel that the thing you say most is to listen to me?"
Jing Mo took it for granted, "You are my partner, who should I listen to if I don't listen to you?"
Hearing this, Su Nian smiled even brighter, "I think what you said makes a lot of sense."
"I also think what I said makes a lot of sense!"
When the second batch of snow fruits planted by Su Nian and Jing Mo matured, everyone in the base knew about the existence of the snow fruits.
Nowadays, you can buy three snow fruits for one contribution point, which is very cheap.
Su Nian and Jing Mo drove to find Kong Jianming with a car full of snow fruits.
Kong Jianming was a little puzzled. "Didn't you say last time that you weren't going to sell it to the base anymore? The current recycling price of the base is five snow fruits for one contribution point. It's really not cost-effective."
Su Nian smiled and said, "Captain Kong, we don't plan to sell it to the base, we just want you to do us a favor.
Can you arrange for someone to deliver these to the dormitories where the elderly and children live? Each of them can buy ten for just one contribution point.
But it is only available for the elderly and children there, and cannot be purchased on behalf of others.”
When Kong Jianming heard Su Nian's words, his pupils shrank in surprise.
There are so many snow fruits, at least more than ten thousand of them.
Even if you sell it to the base at the current price, you can still get two to three thousand contribution points.
But Su Nian wants to sell it to the elderly and children at a cheaper price.
By this calculation, so many snow fruits can only be sold for more than a thousand contribution points at most.
This cannot be said to be a huge loss, it is no different from giving it away for free.
Kong Jianming looked at Jing Mo, "Do you agree too?"
"Of course...I agree with whatever Su Nian does."
“…”
Kong Jianming wanted to take back the previous question.
He just wanted Jing Mo's opinion, but Jing Mo stuffed his mouth with dog food.
But you know what, in this apocalypse, dog food tastes really good!
Kong Jianming quickly gathered his thoughts and looked at Su Nian again, "You want to help them? Then you might as well just give it to them. They might be more grateful to you."
Su Nian shook his head, "What does business have to do with gratitude?
Whether they make a lot or a little, it’s all business. What they think has nothing to do with me.
Besides, if I really give them away for free, they may not be grateful.”
Su Nian's words stunned Kong Jianming.
Kong Jianming had never seen Su Nian take off her mask, but just from her eyes and the sound of her voice he could tell that she was not very old.
Such a little girl sees human nature so thoroughly and clearly. I don’t know whether it is a good thing or not.
“By the way, Captain Kong, please tell your men not to talk nonsense. I don’t want to hear my and Jing Mo’s names from other people.
We don’t need gratitude, not at all.”
Kong Jianming's thoughts were interrupted by Su Nian, but this time, Kong Jianming didn't ask anything and agreed directly.
"Don't worry, my people are strictly disciplined and will never say a word more."
"With Captain Kong's words, I feel relieved."
After the three of them had talked, Su Nian and Jing Mo unloaded the snow fruits from the car, said goodbye to Kong Jianming, and drove away.
As for contribution points, they can now be transferred using the base APP, and Kong Jianming will transfer them directly to Jing Mo at that time.
After resolving this issue, Su Nian felt much better.
After returning home and turning on her phone, Su Nian realized that the New Year had already arrived without her noticing.
During the last Chinese New Year, it was still extremely hot, and Su Nian had the New Year’s Eve dinner alone.
But this time, it wasn't just one person.
"Jing Mo."
"Um?"
"The day after tomorrow is New Year's Eve, let's have a New Year's Eve dinner together!"
"Okay! Then I'll give you delicious shrimp and stir-fried green beans.
Let’s make some sweet and sour fish, and we’ll have plenty every year.”
"We also have to eat dumplings. How can we celebrate Chinese New Year without eating dumplings?"
"Eat! Let's make and eat dumplings right away. How do you make dumplings? Is it difficult to learn? You can teach me when the time comes!"
"Okay! I'll teach you!"
As she spoke, Su Nian slowly tilted her head and leaned on Jing Mo's shoulder.
It has actually been quite some time since the two of them confirmed their relationship.
But for so long, Su Nian never felt that there was any big difference between them and before they confirmed their relationship.
It was not until this moment that Su Nian finally realized the difference.
In this end times, there is someone she can trust completely.
You can fight alongside her, and you can stay at home and farm with her.
They can do good deeds together without leaving their names, or discuss what to eat for the New Year's Eve dinner together.
Only when you truly experience this feeling will you understand how good it is.
Su Nian slowly closed her eyes and spoke softly, "Jing Mo."
"I am here."
