Yuanjing died in a zombie siege during the apocalypse. To gain a chance at rebirth and rewrite his life,
Yuanjing agreed when the demon—oh, no, the system—offered him the opportunity.
..."Have you seen on the Internet that some people who formed a group to move inland were actually robbed on the road? Fortunately, the police were willing to respond at this time and the situation was resolved. But it's always uncomfortable to see such things happen. If the situation gets worse in the future, will robbery continue to happen?"
"It's fine here. There are soldiers and police maintaining order in the waters around us. No one dares to cause trouble. The punishment for causing trouble is much more severe now than before."
"At this critical moment, if we continue to treat the punishment as lightly as before, not many people will take it seriously. Only when the punishment is severe will people not dare to make trouble. We ordinary people can understand this."
Yuan Jing was talking to Qi Yuan while listening to other people's discussions. He looked around and didn't see anyone else, but he saw Zhao Yonggang. He also saw Yuan Jing, came over and said a few words to Yuan Jing and then returned to his post. He came to tell Yuan Jing that Huo Feng and Lu Peng had been sent to other places to maintain order.
"Youngest, haha, I knew you were here." Zhang Yao also came. When he saw Dahei and Xiaohei, he knew Yuan Jing was here. Feifei and Xiaojie were leading Dahei and Xiaohei to play nearby, and other children joined in.
"Where are your uncle and aunt?"
"They are queuing up in the back. I came over to talk to you. Oh, I didn't expect the water supply to be completely cut off. The amount of water we can get every day is limited. We can't even take a shower with this little water. I guess I'll just smell a sour odor every day when I come to get water."
"Haha, what are you talking about, young man? It seems to make sense." An old man laughed after hearing this and smelled his body. It turned out that his body was feeling a little sour.
The water collection point was still promoting how to recycle and save water. When it was Yuan Jing's turn, since there were only two people, one adult and one child, not counting the two German Shepherd dogs, he was given half a bucket of water. Yuan Jing looked at the water and realized that it was only enough for drinking and cooking. There was no way to use it for other purposes.
Qi Yuan was like Yuan Jing. As there were three people in the Zhang family, they should be able to get more. Yuan Jing said hello to Zhang's father and mother and went back with the water.
The first day was okay, but after a few days, everyone's condition changed significantly. Because the water they received was not enough to take a shower, no one cared about their image. The most obvious change was that Yuan Jing saw a lot of bald people.
In their words, there is no other way: "You can't use water to wash your hair. If you don't wash it, your hair will be oily and stick together in a few days. Oh, it's disgusting. Now it's so good to have a shaved head. When washing your face, you can just wipe your head."
So when he went back, Yuan Jing shaves his and Feifei's heads into flat heads. They didn't shave all the hair, but only a layer of green skin was left. It looked much more refreshing and indeed saved water. This way, they wouldn't attract too much attention if they washed their hair every day. When Qi Yuan saw this, he asked Yuan Jing to help him and Xiaojie shave their hair.
Huo Feng came just in time and Feifei opened the door for him. After he came in, he found Yuan Jing was shaving Qi Yuan's head. Yuan Jing was shaving seriously and gave Huo Feng a look to tell him to do as he pleased. Qi Yuan knew that Yuan Jing had a good relationship with several soldiers and was not prone to moving his head, so he smiled at Huo Feng.
Huo Feng couldn't laugh, and even felt aggrieved. How could Yuan Jing move around on other people's heads? Especially when these two men were together, one standing and the other sitting, both of them were good-looking, so it was very pleasing to the eye. Compared with Qi Yuan, he just looked rough.
Especially now that he is running around all day, often under the scorching sun, his skin has become darker and rougher. How can he be compared with Qi Yuan, a pretty boy?
Huo Feng felt jealous. Was it because Yuan Jing felt that Qi Yuan was more to his liking? He felt so jealous that he wanted to leave and didn't want to look at this eye-catching scene anymore. But his legs just couldn't move. He stood there fixedly until Yuan Jing finished shaving Qi Yuan.
Qi Yuan had no idea of Huo Feng's mental activities. He touched his head and felt much more refreshed: "Thank you Yuan Jing, I will take Xiao Jie back to wash."
My neck is covered with short stubble, and it hurts if I don't wash it. Water is becoming increasingly scarce now, and even pouring water for guests at someone's home has become a high-level treatment.
"It's just the way it is. Don't be polite to me."
A simple sentence could make Huo Feng think differently. He wondered sourly what the relationship was that made Yuan Jing say something like "you're welcome".
Qi Yuan called Xiao Jie home, walked past Huo Feng, nodded and smiled at him, muttered in his heart that Huo Feng was a little strange today, and the way he looked at him seemed a little creepy, but this was Yuan Jing's friend, so he didn't say much.
In fact, he was a little envious of Huo Feng. Look at his physique, what a great one, unlike himself who was like a boiled chicken. Now he couldn't sleep during the day, so he would exercise when he had nothing to do. If the situation did not improve, he was afraid that there would be trouble in the future, and he would not be able to protect himself and Xiaojie's safety. But after exercising for a while, he still could not compare with a soldier like Huo Feng.
Yuan Jing cleaned up before he had time to greet Huo Feng. He was curious: "Why are you just standing there? How did you have time to come here today? Don't you have to go out on patrol every day?"
Because of the fixed water territory issue, there have been disturbances in some places in Y City, so now the police and the military are working together to patrol and maintain order.
"You shaved Qi Yuan's head," he didn't answer Yuan Jing's question directly, but the sourness came out as soon as he opened his mouth, and he touched his head deliberately, "My hair seems to have grown longer too."
No matter how his lover's appearance changes, he is actually the same inside. Yuan Jing, who already knew his lover's personality very well, finally understood what was going on with this man after hearing this. He was actually jealous of Qi Yuan, which made him laugh.
But she tried not to laugh, looked at his head, and said, "How about I help you shave it, too?"
"Okay, okay." Huo Feng immediately climbed up the pole and sat down on the stool in front of Yuan Jing, which was where Qi Yuan had sat before, as if this would completely erase Qi Yuan's presence.
"Uncle Huo, drink some water." Feifei obediently brought the cup of water, because he knew that Uncle Huo and the other soldiers were working very hard.
"Thank you Feifei." Huo Feng smiled at the child. This child was so adorable. When they first met, he almost mistook the child for Yuan Jing's son.
Feeling Yuan Jing's hands busy on his head, Huo Feng was moved again, with a grin on his lips. Feifei glanced at Uncle Huo and thought that Uncle Huo's smile was strange again, but he couldn't say it out loud because if his uncle said it, it would be impolite. So Feifei decided to be more tolerant of Uncle Huo.
After the rippling, Huo Feng finally remembered why he came and said, "I have to go out of town, so I came to tell you that it may take a day or two to come back."
"Is it a special mission?" Yuan Jing asked while shaving. If it was a special mission, he certainly couldn't be told.
"No, there is a group of people who need to be resettled in our Y city. We drove over to pick them up and resettle them. The road is not very peaceful now. The order in the city is still good. There are food and water distribution, but some rural areas are more chaotic, so the road is not safe either. We went there to escort them."
"By the way," Huo Feng reminded Yuan Jing, "You and Feifei are the only ones at home. Although this neighborhood is safer than other places, you still have to be careful. This is a villa area, which is considered relatively wealthy. It's easy to be targeted. Don't open the door and let people in easily. You also have to be alert and pay attention to the movements around you. If there is anything, call me or Zhao Yonggang and the others, and we will come immediately."
"Has something happened somewhere in the city?" Yuan Jing has been paying attention to various reports, but has not seen any relevant news locally.
Huo Feng said: "Yes, it has happened in the past two days. There are always some people who are bold and reckless. Yesterday, they caught a group of people. Not only did they break into a house and rob, they also wiped out the entire family. That group of people will definitely not survive. I guess the news will be announced in a few days to deter others."
Yuan Jing frowned: "Then you should be careful when you go out."
Huo Feng grinned again and responded cheerfully, "I will. I'll be back soon. Keep your phone on."
He felt that Yuan Jing was very smart. He built this villa like a fortress. It also had solar energy, so even if there was a power outage, the house could still use air conditioning and there was no shortage of water. He didn't think Yuan Jing had to share it with others. Even though he was a soldier, he knew that in such a situation, people like Yuan Jing had to protect their own lives first before talking about other things.
Anyway, in his heart, Yuan Jing is a beautiful and kind person. Would a person with a bad heart run so far to City N to participate in the search and rescue mission? He knew very well how hard those days were, but Yuan Jing never complained about the hardship or tiredness.
It’s just... Huo Feng felt a little embarrassed. He just didn’t know how Yuan Jing saw him. Thinking about these things in his mind, Huo Feng left Yuan Jing’s house with red ears and a wandering look.
Seeing him like this, Yuan knew what was going on in this man's mind.
Two days later, when they were queuing up to get water, Yuan Jing and Zhang Yaoqiyuan were talking when there was a commotion behind them and the sound of cars.
"A convoy is coming. It seems that some people from the coastal area will be resettled in our city."
"Do we have any vacant houses in the city that can be used to house them? How many people have come?"
"It looks like there's a lot of space. We can squeeze in some space. We don't need to worry about it."
"But I'm worried that with these people coming, our food and water supply will be tight again."
Everyone was talking at once, and when the convoy passed by them, they could see the appearance of the people in the cars and their voices became lower, because these people's appearance was really not good. Besides being greasy, their complexions were not good either, and there were not many fat people. They certainly did not look like this before the high temperature.
This made everyone realize that the situation in their Y City was still relatively good, and some places were even worse.
Some people in the convoy saw the people queuing here carrying buckets of water and walking out. Their eyes almost turned green and they stuck out their tongues to lick their dry lips, but the more they licked, the drier they became, and they even cracked and bled.
"Everyone, follow closely. When you arrive at the resettlement place, you will be given food and water. Everyone, please don't leave the team. Follow closely. If you don't register your identity, you will not be given food and water."
Although some people in the team had objections, no one left the team to grab water because no one wanted to lose their legal status.
